eyes don't tell lies

i was in a cafe waiting for a cup of cappucinno before giving a volunteer music class, when i saw a piece of paper laying under the table. always don't like seeing rubbish scattered around  i pick it up and saw a beautiful handwriting on that paper.
this is what was written there (actually it is written in bahasa indonesia, i translated here):


a pair of eyes looking back at me on that mirror:
 a pair of eyes full of despair and sorrow
a pair of eyes that losing trust and hope
no tears as why should cry?
the wound already there anyway, leaving scars slowly deepen and deepen..
no one could cure, but me

i think it must be related to love (too judgemental? ..... i don't know), as love is the only things who bring unbearable painfulness in this world. i never trust there is a true love in this world (lol).

(my tweet today: focusing on what is being done and what should be done for others happiness, let the anger and hurts away. have a big heart and mind!)


anyway....., that handwriting brought my memory back to a song by peabo bryson and roberta flack back to 1983 (i guess). the title of the song is 'maybe'. i always love this song.

here is the lyric:

if we both decide to try and make it one more time
i hope we take the time to know each other well
and if the answers don't come quick we'll go with how it feels
and sometimes that's not yes or no but

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
you and me again, maybe

you keep asking me if i will love you for all time
if two of us will be enough to make it strong
and if we learn to keep it free and let each other grow
we'll find out there's no yes or no just

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
can we make it through, maybe

no candles or guitar this time around [this time around]
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need [all we'll need]
you and me again [maybe]
maybe

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around [this time around]
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
[till fade]
