No One Will Understand......... Poem by Eva Clara Harahap

No one will understand...
Your skin is crystal clear...
Mine is a teak wood...
But we both love purple diamonds..
Carved nicely in a ring on your finger..

No one will understand..
I am the water..
You are the Olive oil...
And why we can still mix...

No one will understand..
You are the day..
And i am the night...
And why we can still meet in the afternoon...

No one will understand...
I am not your family..
Neither do you...
And why i dont feel any different..

No one will understand..
Your pain is my pain..
Your tears are my tears...
Your wound is my wound...
And why they dont want to understand...

No one will understand...
Of how I wanted to be near you...
For even just a second..
Telling you loudly of how much you mean to me..
Still, they dont want to understand....

No one will understand..
You are only a friend of mine..
But i think of you as an angel sent from above..
And who does not love one great kind of angel...

No one will understand...
In front of their eyes...
You are just an ordinary person...
But not for me...
You are one of the greatest thing in this world..
As no one can give their heart the way you do..
Still, they dont want to understand..
For all the love I have for you...

I am in despair...
I alone love you...
I alone need you..
I alone wanted you..

Why love needs a confirmation from other?
Why love needs an approval from others?
Do we love based on normal norm?
Do we love just because it makes sense to love...

No one will understand...
Though i shout loudly...
Awaken all the stars above...
They're looking down at me with half open eyes...
They too dont understand..
Why i can love someone this much...

I scream loudly to the top of my head..
I seek the thirsty, not the water...
I seek the hunger, not the food...
I seek the wealth, not the treasure...
I seek the journey, not the destination...
I seek the friendship, not the friends
And i seek the love, not the pleasure...

No one will ever understand it..
As they all seek for the water..
They all seek for the food..
They all seek for the treasure..
They all seek for the destination
They all seek for the friends..
And They all only seek for the pleasure...

Even if i beg them to understand..
They will try to look the other way..
As loving someone this way...
Will not ever make anyone understand..

Here I alone stand..
In the desert of all despair...
Waiting for you at the end of the rainbow..
Where all the leaves and flowers bow...
And we travel this world in pair...
Then, we shall only hope for one day..
When they come to understand...
There is nothing wrong to love this way....
