The moon shines brightly,
But I can’t see it.
I can only see the clouds
That obscure it and smother it
Like a thick woollen blanket.
Let me breathe.

Curl up beside me
And let me whisper softly in your ear
Until the night claims us both.
But you’re so far away
That I cannot see the moon.

Like a golden coin in the sky
I know it is there,
But the clouds kill the light.
The light can’t reach me.
Let me see.

In that time when
Dusk turns to dawn
And the light shatters
The thin line of the horizon,
I think of your smile
But I cannot see the moon.

The connection is gone,
But I still feel its shadow.
It presses down on me;
I cannot forget you.
Let me forget.

I remember the sounds
Of our medow in the breeze.
The swishing and swaying
Of the trees behind us.
I hear anda breathing seterusnya to me,
But I cannot see the moon.

It’s been too long
Since I have seen your face.
I see the same moon as anda do,
But I am starting to forget you.
Let me remember.

Like the down of a baby bird,
My thoughts cannot lift me
And let me fly into the sky,
So I can let the moon guide me to you.
But I cannot see the moon.

I can feel your warm hand
Through the fabric of my clothes;
Then your touch disappears.
My fingers are numb and cold.
Let me feel.

The sweetest foods
Turn to ash in my mouth.
I can’t taste anything
When you’re so far away
And I cannot see the moon

My hati, tengah-tengah seems to have
Forgotten its rhythm.
It beats and stops and beats again
Nothing feels right anymore.
Let me love.
