Traces of Longing in the Rain
By: Naili Zulfa Wafira
When the rain falls to the earth
Bringing a million meaningful memories
Bitter and sweet are getting closer in the memory
I think Im starting to miss
Longing without a look
Longing without words
All raging in the chest
The accompaniment of increasingly heavy raindrops seems to voice the feeling of longing
that is full of hope to meet
But wishful thinking is still wishful thinking
Because we cannot realize the meeting
Please give me certainty
When will there be a meeting?
But what power
Everything is just a fantasy
I’ll just send these stanzas of longing through the raindrops that fall to the earth
Who knows the flow empties in your place
And can convey my longing greetings to you
