MOTTO

Musuh terbesar adalah diri kita sendiri.

Jangan buang waktu untuk berkeluh kesah meratapi nasib jelek. Nasib ada

ditangan kita! Tuhan pasti memberi jalan buat kita, yang mau berjuang

keras untuk mengubah nasibnya.

Berjalanlah kamu seakan didepan ada awan pekat menghadangmu, namun

berlarilah karena kehidupan mendorongmu dari arah yang tak terlihat

untuk melihat seberapa besar kamu berusaha.

Speak your mind and free your soul.

This story is about losing my girlfriend to motorcycle accident.

She is everything to me, I‟m not poem a writer, but I can convey my pain.

Her family didn‟t approve of us. And to me, that makes our love stronger, and that

deadly accident took her away from me, when I needed her most. There is and

will never be anyone like my Dewi. I want everyone, to remember Dewi and

honor her life. I know she is always beside me and always love me… only you,

forever in my heart.

In The Rain

I sat there with a smile

The words won‟t come out from my mouth,

It took a while,

But when I finally realized that you were gone

The pain was too much

Killing me from the inside

And I hoped they were wrong

But their words were right

And I never again would hold you

Why did you go and leave this pain?

It hurts me more each day that I don‟t see your face smiling in the rain

Couldn‟t you have stayed?

And been here with me to take away my pain and be with me smiling in the rain.
