Di mana (A Poem)

Di mana?

Di mana mawar yang dulu itu?

Senyum merekah, terkembang ramah

Di mana mawar yang dulu itu?

Terusik tak marah, terhempas tak patah

Di mana mawar yang dulu itu?

Berdiam di kejauhan..

Bertahan di kerapuhan...

Black Rose

I am sure you know the story about a prince who lived in an asteroid, who finally decided to travel to another world, a bigger one; the earth. Yeah, it's the story of The Little Prince. But, do you remember The Little Prince's first love? Exactly, a rose! Everyone knows how The Little Prince felt about the rose, but no one knows how the rose felt, at least until now, cause I'll be glad to tell you the story about that rose.

It was a windy day, just as always

And I was just a baby when he found me in a mess

I was a little bit afraid, but then I realized he was nice

He brought me to his house,

Which was actually just another spot in this tiny world

He was so young, and looks quite different

He had a crown and winged cloth

I think he was such a little prince in this world

He took care of me everyday

He talked to me everyday

I thought we would be friends forever

But we were getting closer and closer

And one day The Little Prince said I was his lover

I was glad to be his lover

But somehow I was sad cause I was not his friend anymore

We had been through lovely days

Until one day he decided to go away

I did not want to be a rock in his way

Thought I would be just okay

He left,

And there was such loneliness that I'd never felt

I thought I would just wait

Until he finally decided to come back

But I was wrong

Apparently I couldn't stay long

I was getting darker and darker

I thought I was red, bright red

But then I became brownish red

Red, brownish red, brown, and black!

I was getting black!

I went back to the day The Little Prince said he loved me

I said in this planet there was only such a rose like me

I was the one and only

Then he said he was so glad to have a special rose like me

I guessed he finally found other roses in another world

And thought  that I lied

Sweetheart,

It was true when I said I was a special rose in this world,

Cause I was the only one you found, and loved

The universe chose you to find me,

And you chose to love me

But I guess it's finally over,

As I am getting darker and darker

I realized that my time is almost over,

But I will never regret to be your lover

Maybe I'll die sooner or later,

But I'm glad to finally find my true color

My eternal color,

BLACK forever...
