(another piece i wrote mixing english and malay)

semalam aku bermimpi and you were right there beside me
we were surrounded by stars and i asked you why do I feel like a red dwarf
you laughed at me and told me that i bukan red dwarf tapi i'm planet Mars
but i'm not from planet Mars, i am from Earth
aku tak cakap kau dari Marikh, i said that you are planet Mars
.
aku terbangun dari alam mimpi dan kau tiada lagi
the dream I had of you kept me thinking day and night
i can't tell between marble and granite,
and this person is telling me i'm a planet?
funny
aku selubung diriku dengan blanket malam itu dengan harapan kita akan bertemu lagi
.
have you figured it out?
i haven't
think again
.
i woke up the next morning disappointed
knowing that that conversation could have been avoided
setiap tahun baru aku akan tersalah tulis tarikh dan dia ada hati nak cakap aku planet marikh?
kelakar

.
give up?
give up.
.
haih
wherever you go, you have Phobos and Deimos right there beside you
menerangi hidup planet itu dari lahir sampai ke hari ini
mungkin kau tak nampak lagi, tapi those two are the ones who loves you the most

and when you look at other planets,
and then at yourself
kenapa pandangan begitu berbeza?
the problem with you is that you see yourself as someone so small when you're just as great as Jupiter
Kau hebat je sebenarnya, cuma kau tak percaya diri kau je

and, planet marikh berwarna merah
yelah, pipi kau kan selalu merah

oh, and

walaupun kau Mars, hati kau tetap sebesar Jupiter
