Nostalgia

7th October 2010

Today I walked down the road once so familiar.
It's not the first time I'm walking it alone,
but I've never felt more lonely.

I walked the pace you find too fast but always kept up with because you never wanted to slow me down.

I saw the father figure at the badminton court that we always avoided,
and so I did today.

I sat down at the place I always do before you moved when we were still so young,
looked up like I used to. That was so long ago, indeed, 7 years; one-third of my life ago.

I hurried my steps when I walked under the bamboo sticks like you always do for your paranoia, and I felt an anxiety too today: for fear of being spotted by familiar faces.

I went to the seat where I always sat while waiting for you and I saw a figure so much like you, I skipped a beat.

I walked the route I always take when going home after sending you,
pending your wave that I haven't seen for long.

--

All this now without you;
not a presence of you in my life.

I'm used to my singlehood and I enjoy it,
forgetting you once stepped into my life...

But maybe two, is better than one.

回忆过去
痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了
今夜的你应该明了
缘难了 情难了
