present : when we dance ~ sting



If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town
I'd change my name

When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

peringatan untuk buku ini, jangan dibaca ketika sedang bad mood. bacalah ketika perasaanmu tenang, bahagia, dan selalu diliputi cinta. eih, lalu cinta harus dicari ya? bukan. tepatnya cinta itu harus diperjuangkan. keberanian yang membuat cinta itu ada. cinta yang ditemukan menghantui dan dikorek kembali.

The priest has said my soul's salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

I'm still in love with you
[I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give]
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

Ally dan Noah yang terperangkap cinta musim panas mereka di usia remaja, dan terpisah tanpa kabar, mulai memikirkan satu sama lain ketika beranjak di umur 30-an. ketika usia paling rawan galau adalah 30-an, itu benar adanya. saatnya untuk memikirkan bukan hanya bunga-bunga cinta, namun juga belahan jiwa teman menghabiskan sisa hidup bersama. ketika semua kegembiraan ternyata hampa, dan saat paling bahagia adalah bersamanya.

If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken
Heaven's no longer above
And hell fire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love

He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay

“Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if oyu planned on fallin gin love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.”

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

cinta pertama dan selamanya itu ada, seperti cinta Noah pada Ally. sederhana, walau tak mudah untuk didapat. hanya beberapa orang teristimewa yang mendapatkannya. bila kamu termasuk yang mendapatinya. bersyukurlah. namun jika tidak, kamu akan tahu jika kamu bertemu orang yang tepat. seseorang yang akan membawa hampamu terbang. seseorang yang akan melepas rasa sakitmu. seseorang yang bersamanya kamu merasa tenang, bisa bercerita apa saja, bisa berbagi apa saja. seseorang yang membuatmu tidak berpura-pura. seseorang yang berkata jujur tentangmu. seseorang yang memujimu apa adanya. cinta tidak datang karena biasa. cinta datang karena luar biasa.

I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way

(I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night)
