august & and it's about you, again.

salt air, and the rust on your door

i never needed anything more 

how come it's already august 

the time went by

years and years away from your footsteps

it's not haunting anymore

yet the aches never leave this town 

i already forget how it started

the butterflies and the smiles

the voices led to your sleeps

the unknown relationship we planted

in miles away, out of our reach

i don't even know now when it started

but it was august

when my heart started to fall 

scattered like glass on the marble floor 

there was something 'bout you 

that now i can't remember

it's the same damn thing 

that made my heart surrender

truly, it was undefining moment

when it comes about you 

you were the sunshine in my nights

the friend when i was away from my life 

the love i could not even had 

i don't remember why

but once, my life revolved around you

and when it stopped, i couldn't felt my heart

it was empty

and no other word would describe

how was my life for the rest of that year

to live for the hope of it all 

cancel plans just in case you'd call

and say, "meet me behind the mall"

and when it ended

what was it for? 

the "i've waited for your call"

the "how's life in Jakarta?"

the "we'll meet when you're back home"

the plans we finally cancelled 

because it was just a scene in my head

and when i finally arrived at home

it was rust on the door

you never opened it for me

yet i knocked it anyway 

just for me to realize, 

you've never been there

do you think i have forgotten

.... about you? 

// summer aches.
