coffee

it's been years and i thought i've got out of it. totally out of it.
but every once a while, you come back to me.
even just the sound of coffee. coffee.
your picture. now a celebrity. your movies. your commercials.
i can't believe this is happening to me. to you.
nicolas and cecilia did get together
does that mean anything to you or about you?
you work so hard. i need to do that.
and now i think of you, i don't even know what to make of our old memories
those stories. those moments. they are so old. they seem so vague. and this thought hurts.

that day, i put my head on the small desk.

those pure pearls rolled out and met my tongue. it's salty.

that
i remember

你好吗?我在远方
只能默默地祝福你
又看到了你的名字
圣诞节前夕的短信
广州到北京
什么时候
什么人
拯救我
拯救一颗曾经
稚嫩单纯多愁善感的心

Beyond the far far away distance, with Michael looking at us from above
we still have this song
not that we listened to it together
but because we bonded through pleasant agony in those restless years
represented by the spirit of the song

The thought lingers on, and it still...hurts a little. but that is all. and that is a blessing, after all.
