BADAI REDA

Original Submission by Qistina ‘Aisyah Binti Mohamad Sayuti

BADAI REDA

Mari kita sebut semuanya lunas,

Meski hati belum benar-benar ikhlas.

Jangan lagi kau jawab sepi yang tak kutanyakan,

Dan biar kulepas genggam yang tak mampu kupertahankan.

Pergilah kamu membawa janji,

Hanya sahaja aku sudah berhenti menanti.

Kerana ada perpisahan yang tak pernah usai,

Cukup sekadar dikenang, lalu ditangisi sendiri.

Dan jika kelak kita bertemu sebagai asing,

Janganlah kau menegur walau sebatas jeling,

Barangkali aku masih akan menoleh,

Barangkali hatiku masih belum sembuh.

Tidak mengapa.

Kita sudah lunas.

Dan yang paling menyakitkan, bukan kerana kau pergi,

Tetapi kerana setelah sekian lama, aku akhirnya mengerti.

Kita sama-sama menyimpan kehilangan,

Lantas memanggilnya sebagai sebuah pelajaran.

Gusti puteri
