They both thought Q=J"#EFs

They thought they didn't know each other, ]kq{9b';
nothing had ever happened between them. a'f"Zdh%w

I would like to ask them, <jF]SN
if they can remember - cc7*O
perhaps in a revolving door ^D\1F$AjC
face to face one day? xc[@lr
A "sorry" in the crowd? YLVV9(
"Wrong number" on the phone? 9tsI1]1[m

No, they don't remember. {]<l|qK

this leaf flying w@Uw8b

他们都以为 Pe6}y
是那瞬间的感觉 "*W:
将他们结合在一起 `s5<PCq
这种确定的感觉很美 X.hU23w

他们觉得彼此从未见面 yG\^PD
也许从来没有发生过任何联系

但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 f =@'F=

我想问问他们 )[RLCZ
是否记得在某个回转门 koOkm:(,
那个面对面的瞬间? $U%M]_
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? Z-|.j^n
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? |S.G#za
但我已经知道答案了 Oxs O
不,他们并不记得 }a?PBo`

他们一定会十分惊讶 _R&mN\ey5
原来 yO*~)ALb+
运气一直在和他们捉迷藏 _DsA<SJ]

但这运气 r09gB#K4
却还没有成为命运 873$EiyXR
它曾让他们如此接近 ]j> W9n?
却又让他们擦肩而过 hkV;(Fr&z

运气也曾经给过他们暗示 !v/5G_pr

可能在三年前 Q#"p6ZmI
或者就在上个星期二 wZ6D\I
不是就有一片落叶 rk$&sDc/3

一个人的东西曾经掉落 xxjg)rVuy
又被另一个人拣起来 xC N6?
谁知道呢 Xi$( U8J_
也许就是儿时树丛中的那个小皮球 _M'WTe

某个门把手上 Mo?eVtZ

两个人的手 4=/5
也许曾经放在同一个位置 hRAI7xk
两个人的包 7P1G^)
也许曾经挨着放在行李架上 o6`4y^Q{/
