Wishful Imagination

I know you eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch in the pouring rain
....

Sepenggal lagu How Deep Is You Love mengalun melalui earphone, menemaniku di pagi ini. Sayang bukan hangatnya mentari yang kurasakan, namun dinginnya udara akibat hujan deras di luar sana. Semangkuk mie kuah atau seporsi bakso panas, ditemani oleh segelas teh atau susu hangat sepertinya akan sangat pas kunikmati saat ini.

Lengkap juga bilamana ada seseorang di sisi, berpeluk saling memberi kehangatan. Hahahaha....

Well, aku suka hujan di pagi hari. Walau hujan membuat kantorku menjadi sedingin es, tapi aku menyukainya. Hujan membawa begitu banyak kenangan, pahit manis, lucu menyedihkan... Aku tidak hidup di masa lalu, tapi aku menikmati mengingat semuanya. Masa lalu lah yang membentukku hingga aku bisa seperti sekarang.

Intinya, hujan membuatku bersyukur.

Have a blessed rainy day, everyone... Flap more...

Love Does Need Reason(s)

Couple weeks ago my friend posted a question on her facebook wall. It was said 'Does love need reason?' I was intrigued. I remembered I've read an article that said that love didn't need any reason. Well, I doubted it.

Love does need reason(s), at least for me. You can't randomly fall into someone who doesn't attract you. It's a reason for a starter. You fall for someone who attracts you.

The article said if you love someone because of reason(s), when the reason(s) has gone, you won't love her/him anymore. You have to love someone with 'though' clause. It's like you love someone because she is beautiful then when she gets older and there are wrinkles on her face, you won't love her anymore. Ain't it too shallow?

Also in that article, it is said your parents do not need any reason to love you, they love you for what you really are. But, is becoming-their-son/daughter itself not a reason?

For me, to fall in love, it needs reason, no matter what it is. You may not be able to find out what the reason is, but somehow you are attracted to him/her. You fall in love to someone instead of the other, there must be something, right? That is the reason, no matter how ridiculous it could be.

But it doesn't just stop there. To love, well, it needs more than reason(s). It needs commitment. And here it goes the 'though' clause, so that you will always love your partner THOUGH he/she is not what he/she used to be.

Again, it's just for me. Instead of arguing whether love needs reason(s) or not, let's just fall in it, feel it, commit to it, and enjoy it because as everyone says 'love is the greatest gift of all'. Flap more...
