Selamat malam, Tuan

Walaupun kita tinggal di bulan,
aku ingin mengajakmu berkelana mengarungi lautan ocehanku yang siap sedia menjadi arah mata angin selagi kita berlayar
supaya kamu tak lagi tersesat di pulau sunyi
Kamu mau kan, jalan-jalan dengan aku yang tidak pernah berhenti bicara ini?

Kamu boleh memilih mau kemanapun tujuan kita
Kamu mau bermain di taman mimpi? Atau kamu mau duduk berdua, menonton film bersama, dan berpelukan di sofa ruang TV? Atau kamu mau menikmati senja sambil menyeruput satu buah kelapa? Atau kamu mau aku buatkan semangkuk sup hangat untuk dimakan di tengah malam yang dingin?
Ayo, jawab aku
supaya kita bisa segera berkelana dan berbincang penuh canda tawa
sembari bertukar sentuh penuh kehangatan

Kamu boleh tanam dan siram bunga semaumu;
pelihara kupu-kupu penuh warna di perutku;
juga bangun sekat tak berudara,
bekap aku saat aku tak henti-hentinya mengeluarkan kisah tentang kamu yang menjadi ikan dan aku yang tersesat di kebun singkong--atau ketika aku menolak untuk setuju padamu tentang kehidupan di atas langit

Sayang,
Tell me your darkest night and brightest day
Shower me with your gloom and doom,
your boom and bloom
For it would make me stay
not only a little longer,
but strong enough to hold you
for all time and eternity

because when it comes to love, I am hopelessly romantic
and I fell in love with you in every split-second

I hope you do 2

You know, if someone asked me,
"Tell me about love",

I would tell them about the constellation, how it shines, how it blinks.

I would tell them about the sun, whose beam passed through the window, how its light refracts into seven colors, and how the sunflowers adore it, become addicted to it.

I would tell them about the sea, both calm and rough, still and rigid at the same time.

I would tell them about the rain and the ground. About a symphony and a glass of warm milk in the middle of the night.

Or I would just tell them about you and our late night talks.
I would tell them about you and the butterflies I felt when we go dive into our fantasy.
I would tell them about you, your laugh, and your 5 am deep raspy voice.
I would tell them about how long your eyelashes are and how your eyes form a smile when I turn silly.

I would tell them that I found love in you.
