Way Back Into Love in 25 Minutes

beberapa bulan sebelumnya nomorku inaktif. aku sempet berfikir kalau hal itu mungkin tidak begitu penting karena belakangan ini orang-orang yang call kebanyakan cuma menambah beban pikiran daripada meringankannya. tak bisa dipungkiri, ada juga kerepotan sepanjang inaktifnya nomor itu. aku akhirnya membeli nomor baru yang kupikir tidak akan kupakai dalam jangka waktu lama.
ternyata aku salah!
bukan. kesalahan itu bukan tentang tidak secepatnya mengaktifkan nomor hp, tapi alasan yang mendampinginya. ternyata, aku (mungkin juga banyak orang lain) memang tidak bisa hidup tanpa banyak berfikir. call2 yang sering merepotkanku pada kenyataannya adalah salah satu bahan bakar hidupku. karena bila tidak, imajinasiku berkembang ke arah yang salah (atau lebih tepatnya tidak berguna).
sebenarnya ada satu kejadian yang menyadarkanku, yaitu cerita tentang seseorang. dulu kami teman dekat, sampai kemudian karena alasan yang kurang jelas menjadi jelas (aku lebih suka mengabsurdkan alasannya karena tidak ingin diusik lebih jauh) membuat kami harus menjaga jarak. sampai suatu ketika (selama keputusan taking-distance-apart nomorku kemudian inaktif) seorang teman mengatakan kalau dia menikah.
aku sempat mengandai-andai bahwa meskipun nomorku aktif, kecil kemungkinannya dihubungi. banyak faktor yang mendukung selain 'jarak'dan aku tidak terlalu menyalahkannya. ini hasilpenilaianku berdasarkan beberapa fakta yang terungkap secara tidak sengaja dari beberapa sumber yang 73% reliable.
kemudian aku terdampar di suatu kafe (salah seorang pramusajinya adalah temanku) dengan tugas kuliah yang sebelumnya sudah memiliki konsep dan plot yg jelas menjadi terkatung-katung tanpa satu katapun yang terketik (selain head). berada di antara keremangan cahaya lampu, nyamannya seat, percakapan2 pengunjung, ketikan2 kibor, klik2 mouse, espresso maker, dan gemercik hujan (khas bogor banget ya?), temanku berkata, "sori, ga bisa nemenin dulu, lagi banyak tamu." kubilang, "it's ok, aku kesini ngerjain tugas." dia senyum sambil dan berlalu. oh ya, dia sempat bilang ada lagu yang pas untukku (membuat aku bertanya2 kenapa dia bisa bilang begitu).
ini dia...

Way Back Into Love

[Verse 1]
(Drew Barrymore)
I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

(Hugh Grant)
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.

[Verse 2]
(Drew Barrymore)
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere!

(Hugh Grant)
I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!

[Middle-eight]
(Drew Barrymore)
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

25 Minutes

After some time I’ve finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I’m searching everywhere to find her again
To tell her I love her
And I’m sorry ’bout the things I’ve done

I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn’t search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she’s crying while she’s saying this

Chorus:
Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late

Against the wind I’m going home again
Wishing be back to the time when we were more than
Friends

Still I see her in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn’t search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she’s cried while she’s saying this

Chorus

Out in the streets
Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
Inside my head
Still I can hear the words she said

I can still hear what she said

blaaaaaaaah..........
