“Kelip-kelip disangka api,
Kalau api mana puntungnya?,
Hilang ghaib di sangka mati,
Kalau mati mana kuburnya?"

These are the words at the end of the song Seribu tahun by Imran Ajmain.
Sometimes poetic words have a way of getting through your heart...
A song about someone who is trying to hold on to a love that is not there anymore. A love lost without a trace. A love lost without reason.
To hold on to something like this is somewhat tiring. Constantly convincing ourselves that a loss that is never confirmed, has a chance that it was never lost.
The lover in this song realizes that even though he/she is willing to risk it all and wait for a thousand years, he/she is unsure whether it is possible because the will of God still prevails.
But a person in love is never rational.
Always looking ahead with the firm belief that the person will turn up somehow, defying what others are saying about the need to move on, that there is no hope.
The lover would not believe that. There is still hope.
To give up is a death in itself. Never ever lose hope.
With hope and faith, they will wait.
Even if death comes first, at least they tried.
