A Stupid Condition: In Love

Tulisan tentang cinta, adalah tulisan yang paling susah untuk ditulis. Karena, sangat susah menulis tentang cinta tanpa terlihat dangdut, campursari, atau pop menya-menye.

For me, what I have with you now.

Falling in love with you is like prasmanan tanpa pernah terpuaskan. Semua detail-detail sifat yang kamu tawarkan: kediaman kamu, ketidaklaziman kamu, kemengertian kamu terhadap keanehanku (begitu pun sebaliknya), seperti ditawarkan dalam piring-piring buffet. Dan kuambil. Kukonsumsi. Namun, aku masih kelaparan. Lalu kuambil, kukonsumsi kembali. Dan aku, tetap kelaparan. Aku bisa menyalahkan ini kepada sifatku yang menagih (dan tidak pernah puas), atau kepada kamu yang terus menawarkan cita-rasa yang tak kunjung habis. Atau, kepada keduanya. I can only sum it up: I. Can’t. Get. Enough. Of. You.

Waduh. Lagi laper.
Maaf, jadi nyambung ke makanan.

Maybe I can’t find cool analogies, pretty metaphors, or write a lovey dopey poem. I definitely can’t write music. I’m just a stupid student, therefore I’m not even good with words for these kind of things.

So, I’m gonna make this ultra-simple,
the most primitive form of telling how I feel: “I love you”.

And I love being with you! I love your giggle, your silly grin. I love our awkwardness when our hands meet, and the fact we act it cool. Oh and I love the way you walk, the way you talk, those reflective eyes, longing for perfection, filled with deep thoughts and ambitions. The ambitions that I share. The way of thinking that I understand. The unconventional person, you are. You are the odd-shaped jigsaw puzzle that I’m looking to fit. And you completed me.

Thus, when they ask me: why do you love her?
I can safely say: what is not to love?

So, I am welcoming you to my life.
Now, let’s do this together, love. :D
