They thought they didn't know each other, p,_6jdz
nothing had ever happened between them. T%N~oa
These streets, these stairs, this corridors, \@iOnRuHn9

I would like to ask them, A8A:@-e8A
if they can remember -
KT]J,b
perhaps in a revolving door H| eD/6K
face to face one day? N]O{T_5-0
A "sorry" in the crowd? GN~[xXJU
"Wrong number" on the phone? 0jip::x
- but I know the answer. Q"l"p:n%n
No, they don't remember. I_jM-/3b

Not quite yet ready &deZ

There were signs, indications, 5<:VJC<

他们都以为 HIWmh4o/.
是那瞬间的感觉 zw%n!wc_\
将他们结合在一起 #)h

这种确定的感觉很美 $<>EwW

他们觉得彼此从未见面 4HJZ^bq9|
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 +DbWMm
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 5M\=+5wB
