They thought they didn't know each other, H']+L~j
nothing had ever happened between them. :H[6Lg\*

I would like to ask them, B\n[.(].r
if they can remember - F5#YOck&,
perhaps in a revolving door ^W@5TkkBQq
face to face one day? "h ^Z
A "sorry" in the crowd? )CyS#j#=

There were signs, indications, {y;n:^

this leaf flying M@ZI\

他们都以为 ?R#)1{(8d~
是那瞬间的感觉 Xs?o{]Fe
将他们结合在一起 "wHFN>5B

我想问问他们 6MkP |vr6
是否记得在某个回转门 ;w[0t}dPl
那个面对面的瞬间? OydwE
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? O0y_Lm\

不,他们并不记得 #1G:lhkC
