CHANCE...OR CHOICE?
When we meet the right person to love when we're
at the right place at the
right time, that's chance.
When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's
not a choice. That's
chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of
couples who get together
because of this) is not choice. That's also a
chance.

The difference is what happens afterward.
When will you take that infatuation, that crush,
that mind-blowing
attraction to the next level?
That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and
contemplate whether you
want to make this into a concrete relationship or
just a fling.
If you decide to love a person, even with his
faults, that's not a chance,
That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter
what, that's choice.
Even if you know there are many people out there
who are more attractive,
smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you
decide to love your mate
just the same, that's choice.

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by
chance.
But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A
choice that we make.

Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie
quote that I believe is so
true about this: "Fate brings you together, but
it's still up to you to
make it happen."

I do believe that soulmates do exist. That there
is truly someone made for
you.
But it's still up to you to make the choice if
you're going to do
something about it or not.

WE MAY MEET OUR SOULMATES BY CHANCE, BUT LOVING
AND STAYING WITH OUR
SOULMATES IS STILL A CHOICE WE HAVE TO MAKE



** gue bilang sih BULL SHIT!!!

Sebuah tembang lawas yang weekend kemarin gue dengerin di salah satu radio ibukota.. Tembang yang berjudul Over You yang dibawakan oleh Anne Murray, seorang penyanyi wanita yang bersuara berat.. mungkin bisa di remix ulang untuk konsumsi anak jaman sekarang.. gue pengennya sih dinyanyiin oleh Lucky - Indonesian Idol..

liriknya pas banget dengan kisah gue yang susah banget melupakan mantan.. a special tribute to A, yg susah banget dilupakan..


Over You
- Anne Murray -

Over you
I guess I never will be over you
I have tried but it's so hard to do

I'm surrounded by the memories
No, I never will be over you

Time goes by and I'm still holding on
Waiting for the day when you come home

If you ever change your mind again
I will greet you like a long lost friend

In my heart we've never reached the end
And I never will be over you

I will love you ‘til the end of time
Even though I know that you're not mine

Just as long as there's a chance that I
Guess I never will be over you

Life's like walking down a lonely street
I see you in everyone I meet

How I long to see your smiling face
Oh, my love for you I can't erase

No one else could ever take your place
And I never will be over you

Over you

bila aku ingat dan kangen sama kamu.. terasa sakit hati..
bila aku ketemu sama kamu.. terasa makan hati..

memang putus cinta membuat luka yang dalam dan susah sembuh..
dan bila sembuh pasti meninggalkan bekas luka..

hatiku yang hancur berkeping-keping disaat kamu memutuskan tali cinta ini..
bagaikan merangkai puzzle yang berserakan dilantai..
kuharus merangkai hatiku kembali dan membuatnya utuh..

biarkanlah aku membenci dirimu.. siapa tahu bisa menghapusmu dari pikiranku

I want to scream... I want to smash that window... I want to throw that vase and break it on the wall.. I want to yell out loud... 'cause I hate you... I hate you for leaving me... I hate you for breaking my heart to pieces... I hate you for making me this way... I HATE YOU !!!!

Dering telefon mengagetkanku dikala aku sedang membaca email..
oh siapakah gerangan... ternyata dia.. yang sudah lama tidak menghubungiku..
betapa senangnya hatiku sore itu...

pembicaraan berlangsung diantara kita.. bertukar cerita.. berbagi cita..
terngiang-ngiang di kepala.. teringat keadaan dahulu.. saat kita bersama.. oh bahagia..

namun dia bukan milikku lagi.. dia telah meninggalkanku untuk berdiri sendiri..
andai dia tahu.. aku masih menyayanginya..
