Tuhan,
biarkan ia bahagia di pelabuhan yang kupandang dari jauh.
Jangan biarkan hujan meretakkan senyumnya,
jangan biarkan angin mencuri hangat dari genggam tangannya.

Meski bukan aku yang memanggil namanya di rumah,
izinkan cintaku mengalir diam-diam
di sungai waktu yang tak pernah bersatu.

Dan bila suatu malam
ia memandang bintang lalu mengingatku,
biarkan hatinya tenang—
sebab aku mencintainya tanpa meminta ia kembali.

Cintaku,
di ujung ini aku melepaskanmu.
Bukan karena rasa telah mati,
tapi karena aku memilih hidup yang tak melukai.

Kau akan melangkah di jalanmu
bersama tangan yang kau genggam kini,
dan aku akan melangkah di jalanku
dengan hati yang masih melirihkan namamu.

Jangan kembali.
Jangan menoleh.
Biarkan kita menjadi kisah, yang hanya indah jika dibaca di masa lalu.

A Prayer for the Never Anchored Love

Lord,
let him be happy in the harbor I watch from afar.
Do not let the rain crack his smile,
do not let the wind steal the warmth from his clasped hands.

Though it is not I who calls his name at home,
let my love flow quietly
in the river of time that will never meet his.

And if one night
he looks at the stars and remembers me,
let his heart be at peace—
for I love him without asking him to return.My love,
at this edge, I let you go.
Not because the feeling has died,
but because I choose a life that does not wound.

My love,
at this edge, I let you go.
Not because the love has died,
but because I choose a life that does not wound.

You will walk your road
with the hand you hold now,
and I will walk mine
with a heart still whispering your name.

Do not return.
Do not look back.
Let us be a story that remains beautiful
only when read in the past.
