Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta

Coming home to your town
i'm caught by the stir of my longing
still the same as before
every corner is a friendly greeting
fully satiated with meaning

Lost in the sensation of nostalgia
of the moments when we were spending time
and enjoying Jogja's ambience together

At the intersection my steps stand still
bustling portable food stands
peddling various delectable cuisines
people sit cross-legged

And street musicians begin to play
in rhythm with my sorrow of losing you
alone in my moans
engulfed by your city's roar

Although now you're no longer here
and will never come back
please allow me to always return
if the heart embarks on loneliness with no comfort
