I would like to ask them, `3L?x8g
if they can remember - Qk8YR5K
perhaps in a revolving door 8_{XrTw(
face to face one day? A?H.EZ
A "sorry" in the crowd? G$1gk ^G's
"Wrong number" on the phone? qhOV>j,d

No, they don't remember. 3$PGLM

or even last Tuesday, !==C@cH<N
this leaf flying zqm/<]A*l

他们都以为 )k&!&
是那瞬间的感觉 B/bS:
将他们结合在一起 G$CI~0Se:

我想问问他们 xkmqf7w
是否记得在某个回转门 !KmSLr7xU
