On friendship

Saat saya dengar lagu ini, ingatan ke masa lalu segera datang.
Yach, lagu ini memang lagu lama [jadul lah], tapi liriknya sungguh menyentuh hati. Tentang persahabatan, tentang berbagi, tentang mendukung.

Saya sendiri sejak dulu punya cukup banyak sahabat; ya sahabat memang lebih dari sekadar teman.
Saat SMA di Djokja, kuliah di ITB Bandung, di OZ, saya selalu punya sahabat. Sekarang mereka semua sudah punya jalan sendiri-sendiri. Sahabat memang tak akan mudah dicari tapi tak akan pula mudah hilang.

Good luck my friends. May Allah will always be with you ~ a friend in need is a friend indeed

ps: tentu, sekarang pun saya punya dua sahabat: Kirani dan Bundanya.

That’s What Friends Are For

And I never thought I’d feel this way
And as far as I’m concerned
I’m glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for

Well you came in loving me
And now there’s so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we’re apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
