Writing a Letter to Someone Who Will Never Read It

A20:34

I sat down with a blank page.

Aku duduk dengan kertas kosong.

The pen felt heavy in my hand.

Pena terasa berat di tanganku.

I started to write your name.

Aku mulai menulis namamu.

Then I stopped and looked outside.

Lalu aku berhenti dan melihat ke luar.

The rain fell on the window glass.

Hujan jatuh di kaca jendela.

I wanted to tell you many things.

Aku ingin memberitahumu banyak hal.

But I knew you would not read this.

Tapi aku tahu kau tak akan membaca ini.

I wrote about the small, ordinary days.

Aku menulis tentang hari-hari kecil yang biasa.

I wrote about the coffee I spilled.

Aku menulis tentang kopi yang kutumpahkan.

I wrote about the smell of wet earth.

Aku menulis tentang bau tanah basah.

Then I folded the paper slowly.

Lalu aku melipat kertasnya perlahan.

I put it in an envelope without an address.

Aku memasukkannya ke amplop tanpa alamat.
