They both thought ^ARkjYt
that a sudden feeling had united them @{@)gE
This certainty is beautiful, cs)R8vuB)z
but uncertainty is more beautiful still. qDjH^f

They thought they didn't know each other, ]t_ Wl1*|
nothing had ever happened between them. vW5>{
These streets, these stairs, this corridors, hj=k[t|g}
they could have passed each other long ago ZKVM9ofXRi

I would like to ask them, !1`f84d
if they can remember - P&AaD!Qn
perhaps in a revolving door j`_tb
face to face one day? <E7y:%L[Go
A "sorry" in the crowd? ~!'T!g%C
"Wrong number" on the phone? F-2Q3+7$

Not quite yet ready 9&1$\ZH
to change into destiny, f!JSb?#3
which brings them nearer and yet further, bJFqyK:6

There were signs, indications, K9S(Xip

Three years ago, perhaps NP$ D9#
or even last Tuesday, $%5vJiuk
this leaf flying G:Nwi=vN
from one shoulder to another? ._`?ZJ
Something was dropped and then picked up. ]v0=jm5A
Who knows, perhaps the ball vanished 3OJGBiDAr

There were handles, door bells, zu``F]B

他们都以为 cfPQcB>A
是那瞬间的感觉 C.+:FY.H
将他们结合在一起 mWH;-F*%

他们觉得彼此从未见面 L7s

也许从来没有发生过任何联系 JO\KTWtjO
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 {e83 A/{

我想问问他们 DO

是否记得在某个回转门 2yndna-
那个面对面的瞬间? q8Rep
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? | @p
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? ib~EQ?u{

不,他们并不记得 IdciGS6t
