I would like to ask them, 'gwh:8Xc
if they can remember - .9;wJ9Bw[
perhaps in a revolving door |#!P!p}
face to face one day? ~,.}@XlgT.
A "sorry" in the crowd? @=1kr ^i
"Wrong number" on the phone? 0FD+iID

No, they don't remember. Syj7K*,%bZ

Not quite yet ready ^d2bl,1

There were signs, indications, &<sN(;%0R

Three years ago, perhaps ( nH3

他们都以为 PF1m :Iz`d
是那瞬间的感觉 H5Rn.n( |
将他们结合在一起 V$wf;v0d(
这种确定的感觉很美 nJYcC"f

他们觉得彼此从未见面 ^z$-NSlI
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 h{]l?6`
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 <dzE5]%\
或者他们曾在哪儿擦身而过呢 *N$#cz

我想问问他们 w*ig[{

是否记得在某个回转门 a`CsL Bv&
那个面对面的瞬间? oSt-w{!
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? v.+-)RLQg
