We've been best-mate (as we call it) since a child. Live in the same neighborhood, goes to the same school, makes us inseparable.

Until one day, we found out that we can't be on the same page anymore.

Life goes on, so do our heart and our own story.

This is my first lyrics-fiction project that basically comes from a song that I like.

It's Sewindu by Tulus, an Indonesian male singer and songwriter (watch the official video HERE)

"sewindu" is basically "one windu" which mean "cycle of eight years", but I'll unofficially title it as "It's Been A While"

It's Been A While

It's been a long time since I've been around you
Always there on your morning, on your day long
There is no possibility if you don't know
If I keep this feeling for a long time

I wait on your door every morning
Put my best smile on your bright day
It's enough for me seeing you smile
On your every morning, day, and night

There he came with his charming prince attitude
And give you hope, boasting about love in the future
And you forget about me, all of my efforts
All of our mornings, all of our nights

Oh, I'll never be waiting at your door again
And there is no more sweet talk for you

Honestly, it hurts my heart

Seeing you choose him

I'll never be a foolish again

Engage with my aimlessly wishful thinking
