Love you or love me?


"Aku sayang kamu",

bukankah itu berarti aku sayang dirimu, dengan seluruh keberadaanmu, termasuk semua kekurangan dan kelebihan, latar belakang keluarga, keanehan sikap dan perilaku, dan keajaiban pemikiran;

bukankah itu yang namanya sayang sama kamu, apa adanya kamu?

jika tidak demikian, maka seharusnya "aku" berkata,

"aku sayang sama perhatianmu, sama selera humormu, sama kharismamu, tapi, aku nggak sayang kalau kamu lagi cuek, nyebelin, terlalu idealis, atau terlalu dominan";

jika tidak demikian, "aku sayang kamu" kurang tepat,

karena kata "kamu" seharusnya mencakup kelebihan dan kekurangan, keseluruhan diri, bukan hanya memilah-milah kondisi dan sifat dari "kamu"

ketika bilang "aku sayang kamu", berarti "aku" bilang "hei kamu, walaupun kamu kadang nyebelin, cuek, terlalu idealis, atau terlalu dominan, aku bisa menerima dan mau mendampingi kamu"
Tetapi sayangnya, seringkali yang terjadi tidak demikian,

"aku sayang kamu" memiliki makna tersirat, "aku sayang kamu kalau kamu baik sama aku, perhatian sama aku, mau ngertiin aku, tapi kalo kamu lagi nyebelin, aku nggak sayang sama kamu."


then, kalo kaya gitu, "aku sayang kamu" atau "aku sayang aku"?


ketika si "aku" dibuat tak nyaman, marah, dan emosi oleh si "kamu" (sengaja ataupun tak sengaja), bisakah kata-kata "aku sayang kamu" bisa tetap terucap dengan sepenuh hati?

ketika si "kamu" tak berbuat seperti yang si "aku" inginkan, begitu mudahnya keluhan dan omelan keluar dari mulut si "aku", bahkan semudah ketika si "aku" mengucapkan "aku sayang kamu"

atau, ketika ego si "aku" sudah terusik, maka semua kata sayang dan cinta yang pernah terucap hilang entah kemana, yang ada hanyalah pertanyaan "Kok kamu gitu sih?" yang sebenarnya bisa berarti, "kok kamu ga mau ngertiin aku sih? kok kamu ga seperti yang aku harapkan sih?"


Aku, aku, aku, dan aku...

Jika semua tentang "aku", apa arti dari "sayang" dan "kamu" sesungguhnya?



it's easy to talk the talk, but can you really walk the walk?

When I say that I love you

-WHEN I SAY THAT I LOVE YOU -

You feel that you're lonely
it doesn't prove you are alone
you feel that nobody wants you
doesn't mean that no one cares about you
listen to the words I say
that I will always be by your side
you mean everything to Me
I will never leave you cause I love u so..

You think that you're nothing
before Me you are something beautiful
you think that you cant do anything
but you can do a lot of things with Me
listen to the words I say
that I will always be by your side
you mean everything to Me
I will never leave u cause I love u so

When I say that I love you
it means I give the best for you
when I say that I love you
I will give everything for you
no more fear about the future
and blame for the past
I'll give everything
when I say that I love you

I want you to know that I died for you
I want you to know that I give all My life
for you
When I say that I love you



Very romantic, isn't it? But, don't you think this song is kinda too good to be true?

Yes indeed, personally i think this is too good to be true, IF the "I" and "me" in this song refers to human being. No human being could possibly be able to do that. Even if someone brave enough to say that, it must be a lip service only, or he/she is promising something that he/she couldnt possibly able to fulfill. How come somone give his/her everything, while "everything" are not his/hers to give?

That's why the "I" and "Me" is written on capital letters. It refers to Him, to Almighty God, our Creator and our number one Lover. Because He is the real Almighty, for sure He'll be able to do that.

For me, this is the most romantic song that i've ever heard, even more romantic because it's our God who give the promise. He is indeed a romantic God, isn't He?

As a girl, i do love romantic things, but i dont like the-over-romantic and surreal things, just dont promise anything, or say anything that you couldnt be able to fulfill. That's why if this song refer to human being, maybe i would be the first to say that this is such a rubbish. But, since this promise isnt from human being, this song is really beautiful. How i long to hear someone say this to me :)

The feel of being loved is just too wonderful, and im very blessed because He love me so.


And the best part is, He loves you too! :)
