She wasn't me, I was taking this photo  Bara yang memabakar nadiku kini  Magi yang menyulap semestaku kini Hanya singgah untuk musnah  Tersihir, tersiksa, tersia-sia Di antara angkara  Dua kutub yang berbeda  Kita meregang Tak berkesudahan Di ufuk engkau terbenam, aku terbit Di teluk engkau tenggelam, aku pasang Sejauh apapun garis waktu engkau tempuh  Hadirku selalu di balik matamu  Seluas apa pun ruang yang engkau rengkuh  Cintaku selalu di luar sadarmu  Akulah awal dan engkaulah akhir Meniadakan kita berdua  Adalah satu-satunya cara kita bersama -Dee Lestari

Dimensi tak terbilang dan  tak terjelang  Engkaulah ketunggalan sebelum meledaknya segala percabangan  Bersatu denga tujuan peraduan kunmu menjadikan aku mata semesta  Berpisah menjadikan aku tanya dan engau jawabnya Berdua kita berkejaran tanpa pernah lagi bersua Mencecapmu lewat mimpi Terjauh yang sanggup kujalani Meski hanya satu malam dari ribuan malam Sekejap bersamamu menjadi tujuan peraduanku  Sekali mengenalimu menjadi tujuan hidupku Selapis kelopak mata membatasi aku dan engkau Setiap napas mendekatkan sekaligus menjauhkan kita Engkau membuatku putus asa dan mencinta  Pada saat yang sama -Dee Lestari

Foto ini diambil dari Jungleand Bogor, bukan Bukit Jambul yah awas, Bukit Jambul fiksi :( Engkaulah keheningan yang hadir sebelum segala suara  Engkaulah lengang tempatku berpulang Bunyimu adalah senyapmu Tarianmu adalah gemingmu Pada bisumu, bermuara segala jawaban Dalam hadirmu, keabadian sayaup mengecup Saput batinku meluruh Tatapmu sekilas dan sungguh Bersama engkau, aku hanya kepala tanpa rencana Telanjang tanpa kata-kata Cuma kini Tinggal sunyi Dan, waktu perlahan mati (catatan kecil saat langit kelabu di taman bambu) -Dee Lestari

Engkaulah kilatan cahaya yang menyapu lenyapkan segala jejeak dan bayang Engkaulah bentangan sinar yang menjembatani jurang antara duka mencinta dan bahagia terdera Engkaulah  terang yang kudekap dalam gelap saat bumi bersiap diri untuk selamanya lelap  Andai kau sadar arti pelitamu  Andai kau lihat hitamnya sepi di balik punggungmu Tak akan kau syatkan luka demi menggarisi jarakmu dengan aku Karena kita satu  Andai kau tahu (catatan dini hari di suatu taman yang banyak banci) -Dee Lestari
