john "is" legend

tadi malam. capek. setelah sekian lama tidak beraktifitas. akhirnya aku merasa kelelahan. pagi maen sama anak-anak futsalismo. latih tanding dengan anak-anak cosmo. akhirnya kita anak-anak futsalismo menang juga. tapi badanku rontok. menahan beberapa tendangan. cak ase mempercayakan posisi kiper. tetapi merasa senang, karena sebelumnya bisa menyarangkan gol dari titik tengah lapangan, memperdaya kiper legendaris futsalimo. ase. siangnya mengantarnya. ke karawang. meski hanya bisa mencuri pandang. tapi cukup nyaman. entah apa ini namanya. kuharap bukan cinta. aku cukup lelah mengharapnya. biarkan sang waktu yang menjawab.

lampu mati. tv menyala. tanpa henti tangan memencet tombol. tertambat di jak TV. seorang pria tampak di depan piano. alunan nada berdenting. samar kulihat. alunan suara mengumandang. tak salah lagi. itu john legend. dengan lagu lamanya. ordinary people. aku pun terbawa...

john legend - ordinary people

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances

We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight,
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go(hey)
'cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
take it sloww
take it slow
this time we'll take it slow

what a great song from a great legend. aku sungguh terbawa. sederhana. tapi kena. so classic but it works. menurutku pasangan itu harus saling mengisi. bukan saling memaksa. tidak menumbuhkan ego masing. pasangan itu punya satu hati. satu jiwa. tapi punya dua kepala. perdebatan akan perbedaan adalah ujian. tidak butuh jawaban benar ataupun salah. tapi bagaimana memandang suatu masalah. bukan menimbulkan masalah baru. tapi mencari jalan tengah. jika tak mampu menghadapinya. berarti memang tak cocok. bukannya kalah. hanya tak jodoh. dan buat apa terlarut?jika berhasil? selamat satu phase telah terlewati. just one step closer. think positive and don't deal with problem. so classics but works.

so This time we'll take it slow...
