不为斯言为斯人

你总能给我点surprise.

刚刚还在揣摩,你到家也该一周了,不知路上是否顺畅,不知回家的身体是否安康,不知你又该如何忙碌周旋在各色人情世故中,不知你是否能熬过心情的跌宕起伏,不知在我说出那样不可挽回的harsh words后还会否有tiny bit的possibility接到你的电话。

意料之外的,午夜铃响。无巧不巧的,今夜偏偏鬼使神差的将手机放在了案头。

这时才发现,身体反应有时远比头脑迅速。按下接听键,才看清屏幕上闪烁的名字,几十秒之后,意识也才终于明白这三个字的真正意义。

听着你的声音,死命地按住胸口靠左的位置,狠狠地咳嗽以阻止狂跳着的心蹦出喉咙口,恍惚地应对你的问题,又惶恐着自己的恍惚沉默会散发出怎样错误的讯息。搜肠刮肚的找寻话题,力图填补句与句间断续的沉默,力图消弭对你可能的压力,却总是力有未逮。心下有种细风刮过的无奈,丝丝的痛。知道自己的无能与残忍,心疼你的勇气和承担。这样的pattern,似乎一时之间很难颠覆。

你絮絮的跳跃着话题,聆听着的我仿佛被你牵着手,款款穿行在语句的密林里。并不是很急切要去捕捉词语间的意义,只是想感受被你的声息浸润的一丝微薄的温暖,在残缺的时光罅隙中留住一刻难得的安宁。



后来,你还是欲言又止;后来,你还是哽咽失声了。而我竟然,内心凄楚,一句话也说不出。当爱已变成一场巨大的哀痛,纵有再多不甘也是枉然。这爱本身,已是一种妄求,已是无可饶恕。我这深深扎根的执念,不知是否要纠你我余生的时间与流离,才能折堕摧毁。

如果可能,真想伸出手,沿着电波,拥你入怀,替你拭泪,也偷取来自你的温暖与慰籍。如果可能,真想看看你,劫后的容颜。如果可能,真想将你的自卑抹去。如果可能,真想许你一个你想要的未来。

非诚勿扰


被人硬推着,陪父母去看了《非诚勿扰2》。

三番四次地拒看《非诚勿扰》,哪怕有人舌灿莲花地赞它幽默搞怪、笑点多、风景美,已经被冠为个瑟到极点,若再维持这样一种我行我素的姿态,只怕耳根要不得清净很久。何况现在这种啥事也干不了的状态,与其宅家里心浮气躁、百无聊赖,不如当人偶尽孝心。何况依稀仿佛,还记得去年年初你提及也凑热闹去看了《非诚勿扰》,哪怕评价不高;何况,几年前与你凑电脑前看《手机》看得乐不可支的情景,依然历历在目。

街上已是一片迎新的繁华旖旎,人头攒动、摩肩接踵则是不变的。木然地坐在电影院此起彼伏的笑声里,我难免要疑惑:自己的笑点是否太高了?

一点点小聪明,看不到所谓的大智慧,其淡如水的情节,让我不明所以票房和口碑的火爆。片中的一诗一曲,生生糟蹋了仓央嘉措的两首情诗。不过,电影散场,看着字幕翻动,看着不等曲终就仓促离开的人群,歌词还是一点点渗透进想你念你的一颗心里:

...
最好不相见,如此便可不相恋

最好不相知,如此便可不相思
最好不相伴,如此便可不相欠
最好不相惜,如此便可不相忆

最好不相爱,如此便可不相弃
最好不相对,如此便可不相会
最好不相误,如此便可不相负
最好不相许,如此便可不相续

最好不相依,如此便可不相偎
最好不相遇,如此便可不相聚
...

只是呵只是,还是想相见、相知、相伴、相惜、相爱、相对、相误、相许、相依、相遇,哪怕会相思、相忆,哪怕有相欠、相负和相弃,哪怕最后的最后,还是躲不过与君相决绝,生死作相思...

我爱,是从你这里,才懂得了思念,懂得了离别,懂得了爱...

声声催忆当初

从地铁长长的甬道里钻出地面,扑面而来的潮湿阴冷让人忍不住激灵了一下,寒风中隐隐飘来烘山芋的诱人香气。无意识的看向香气的源头,司空见惯了的铁桶杵在街头,孤零零几个红薯置于其上,主人缩着脖子袖着手跺着脚期盼地看着路人。

经过的时候, 脚步略略停顿,恍惚着自己有多久没吃过烤红薯了呢?定神一想,原来自你走后就没再吃过了。

突然之间,忆起当年与你依偎着走在路上捧着红薯你吃一口喂我一口的场景,仿佛又听到你轻语:“反正脏了,不如就脏一个人的手罢”,暖暖的被宠着的亲密感觉仿佛又从很久以前泛上此刻的心头,浑然不觉已是几年后的冬夜。

再走几步路,胸口和鼻尖处似乎被人狠狠捣了两拳,疼得蜷缩成一团动弹不得,只能不顾形象地低头靠在街角,鼻子一酸,憋了很久的泪刷地就流下来。突然地,我就这样从持续了多日的麻木状态中苏醒过来。好在,天已黑,路人甲乙丙,行色匆匆,各自奔向为自己点着一盏灯的终点,无暇注意到我的失常。

掩面良久,脑中呼啸而过的,是你说过的居留权和不回国的决定,是你渐行渐远的背影,是自己job rotation机会的灰飞烟灭,是自己蠢蠢欲动的留学念头,是那惨烈的缘尽于此...绝望、心痛和无奈次第掠过心头——此生,终于还是不能靠近你,与你同在一个城市,哪怕仅仅是远远相望...

冬雨,开始砸下来,打在脸上,身上,一声声,催忆当初...

Goodbye My Friend

Something Ally Mcbeal said in one episode "I will survive" hit me.

Similar to her, I have refused to move on for years after you have gone. Actually I share the same thought with her: It just feels like such a big insult to you if life just goes on.

Similar to her, I feel so alone because the one I love more than anything else isn't even mine. It's a fact, I had to accept. But when the love turned out to be finite, ended suddenly, it left me so empty. I don't feel entitled to cling to the love that I had with you. Maybe a part of me always think I would get it back. But deep down, I also know it is only a wishful thinking. That maybe why the hole feels so big.

Her colleague asked her:

Your love with him it was real at one point?


Yes.

Well, then, you own it. You're entitled to cling to it. Your last memory of him shouldn't be where you left off. Remember him the way you want to. You survive that way, and so does he.

Listening to this, I couldn't help thinking of your guess in last mail. It makes me very sad these days. I feel even more empty than last year.

However, his advice hit me too: Remember you the way I want to. I may survive that way.

In the end, this song appears in the air. It is very sad, I hope I need not to sing it to you yet.

I don't know where life will take us, I never know when death will shake us, I don't know whether I can find an answer in the near future. I'm not sure whether you still want to wait for me after all is said, as a friend, even it may take 10 years or more. But, I will try my best not to sing this song to you someday.

Be patient with me, please!

Love Has No Pride

开会,听见铃声,本能地掐断,再看屏幕,懊恼得发现和你的来电显示一模一样——“无法识别”。

有点不敢相信是你的。于是在脑海中把几个工作相关的海外联系人翻来覆去地筛选了几遍,不是时差不对就是方式不对或者显示不对。只有你,显示对,时间对,方式对,似乎最有可能。

接下来的会,于是如坐针毡、云里雾里、忐忑不安,最后索性溜号了事。

回家,连线,查信。世界太平。于是更相信是你。

想等铃声再响。可是渐渐,胡思乱想起来。想起自己无数次在地铁呼啸而来的疾风中涌起的冲动,想起龙应台《寄K》里的一句话: “有没有一句轻柔的话、一个温暖的眼神,使他留恋,使他动摇?”,想起自己崩溃的刹那按键完毕后的仓皇逃窜其后的死死抑制与疯狂,突然很害怕很害怕。

再也坐不住,再也等不了,一颗心火急火燎的。拿起电话,按键,心开始擂鼓般狂跳不已。无人接听。更怕。再按。还是一样。

冷汗涔涔。无数的可能在脑海里如木马一样旋转个不停。既恐你如之前一样不愿接听,又怕不过是手机不在你身边而被我的强迫症小事化大骚扰个不休,更怕是我最怕的一个可能。不在一地的坏处,尽显无遗。若仅仅是两个城市,仍有可想之法,而今,除了死等,别无行动之可能。

定定神,如热锅上蚂蚁又死熬半个钟头,再拨。

终于通了。你的声音听起来遥远、含糊、陌生。按着狂跳不止的心脏,浑身颤抖、结结巴巴说了缘由,又象兔子一样夹着尾巴脚底抹油地溜了。连再见都来不及说。

瘫在椅子上半响,才回味过来你的声音中的冷淡与距离。于是想,这个电话,是对了还是错了?是我又自作多情多此一举了,还是...?让我瑟缩的,究竟是受伤的自尊,还是无望的爱?

这时,突然想起前几天听到的一首歌"Love Has No Pride",纠结的心终于略微舒展开来。情到深处,早已没有Pride的容身之地。就算我多此一举,对你徒添增扰;就算是你因为"玉想"落空彻底心死,声音从此冷淡充满距离;就算我们落到今日这个地步,这个电话,我仍是要打的,只为了那万分之一的可能。

只要你没事,就好。

Love has no pride when I call out your name.

You're Still You

You asked me whether I got religion. I replied no. At that moment, a voice whispered in my heart: Why should I? Don't you know: Love is my religion, and I've believed in you.

No matter how you've changed, you're still you. The one I've thought I've known a lifetime but I still don't know much, the one I have got to know a bit new everyday since the reunion, the one I fell in love with, the one I've dreamed too long.

If something I still can say, believe me:
Even you broke my heart, in my eyes you did no wrong. And after all is said and done, you're still you.

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you

So Very Hard To Go

Ain't nothing I can say,
Nothing I can do,
I feel so bad,
I feel so blue.
I got to make it right
For everyone concerned
Even if it's me, if it means it's me what's getting burned.

I knew the time would come,
I'd have to pay for my mistakes,
I can't blame you for what you're doing to me girl,
Even though my heart aches.

Only wish I didn't have to love you so,
Makes it so, so very hard to go.

Chances Are

What a week!

I was on an emotional roller coaster since Nov 25th. Now another week passed, and I'm still too numb to feel any pain.

I encountered this song in 《Ally Mcbeal》, the soap drama that helps me to get through all these days and nights. When the words wash over me, the past keep on swirling in my mind too.

I remember clearly how you looked in the age of innocence. I remember vaguely how you looked "the" night. I remember your laughter and your smile. I remember your tears and your sob. I remember how you made me smile and feel so at ease. I remember how you made me cry and feel so desperate.

I know all the rules of logic don't apply. I know you're the best I've ever met. I know you're all I long to see. I know how much you mean to me. I know you're the only one I can't forget.

Though I'm not yet giving up dreaming of our future, and hoping you'll be by my side. Deep down, I know chances are, I can never see you again in real life. Chances are, I can never hear from you any more. Chances are, I always end up driving by your life.

May I see you somewhere in my dreams tonight, my beloved?

The Green-Eyed Monster

I don't understand why it looks like a bomb after going through so many things.It shouldn't matter, but it did blow me to bits again.

When the anger faded,the sadness and the desperation rose.I can't stop shaking like a leaf blown in the stiff wind.

This was crazy. I had never thought I would be mad at you like that one day. The words stormed out from my fingers without any contemplation.I even clicked the reply without the second look.Then I left office regardless of any consequence.

The dark fell, the tide ebbed,the clarity came back to my mind at last,the damage is there already and irrevocable.I can't imagine how you are feeling now, but I have a gut feeling we are back to silent land again. Look what I said to you? I was so hard on you.I guess at some point, the green monster lurking deep in my heart finally took control of me, as I scared before.



My apologies, my dearest. Forgive me for what I did to you.

I guess now you would know better why I haven't jumped at the chance you offered till now. The green-eyed monster is one of reasons which prevent me from giving us a shot. At this stage, I still can't tame it. I'm scared it will hurt both of us again and again.

100 Tears Away

I want to go ahead and cry hard, but I'm frozen.
I want to give in to the madness to feel joy and sadness again, but I'm scared to death.
I want to find an answer, but I can't even think.

I wish I would believe:
All of the happiness I seek
All of the joy for which I pray
Is closer than I think
It's just 100 tears away.

But I know I'm a long way from some place I feel safe. And there's a place in my heart, the loneliness and sadness are so much that even you can't soothe.

I love you so, I'm willing to take any chance to be with you as long as you can love me back. But we are not longing for the same, I dare not to believe: this time things will be different, this time we can make it.

I don't know how, how I've lived till now, how I will live in the future. I don't know how, how to set my heart free...

How I wish: If only you are just 100 tears away......
