There are times when people feel at home for us and that very
special friend enters into our lives, coming in with the promise that they will
stay there for a long time-even forever, maybe. But sometimes, the people we
give our best to, end up treating us like just a temporary
singer-plying-shelter: "Rumah Singgah." And when they go away, there
remains emptiness, a lot of questions, and a faint heartbreak that lingers.
More Than Just a Love Song, Fabio Asher's "Rumah Singgah"
is often considered a love ballad-a
song of someone being a resting place and only stopping by whenever it is just
convenient. But the fact is that the lyrics go deeper than romance. They speak
to anyone who has ever given all of their love for someone, including in
friendship. Because betrayal does not only come from lovers. It comes from your
closest friends as well. "Yang terjadi kini Ku hanya rumah persinggahanmu,Di
saat kau terluka,Dan di saat semuanya reda,Kau menghilang begitu saja”
A louder betrayal is not necessarily the most painful. There are
some that are the most painful and yet there is no screaming, no blatant lies.
Sometimes all it is a quiet.It is that sudden distance. It is disappearance. It
is watching them move on as if you never mattered."
You ask yourself, "Was I just a convenience?" The answer
you that hate so much is right there. No, you were not their home. You were
their stopover. Their rumah singgah. Hoping for Forever, But Left with Nothing What
hurts the most is the hope. You hoped this friendship would last.
