They both thought ]`!>6/[
that a sudden feeling had united them *2>&"B09`

They thought they didn't know each other, l?v86k
nothing had ever happened between them. ;0]aq0_#(
These streets, these stairs, this corridors, n$A9_cHF7
they could have passed each other long ago ;RZ )

I would like to ask them, wQ:)KjhHH
if they can remember - y;m|
perhaps in a revolving door Z\bmW%av
face to face one day? D=A&+6B@-
A "sorry" in the crowd? =g7x'

"Wrong number" on the phone? 9R!atPz9
- but I know the answer. CCs%%U/=
No, they don't remember. ozyX$tp

There were signs, indications, R+hU8 pu

Three years ago, perhaps EgEa1l!NSQ
or even last Tuesday, F@D`N0Pte
this leaf flying C$=%!wf
from one shoulder to another? A;q9rD,_
Something was dropped and then picked up. +q<jAW A

他们都以为 :uS\3toj
是那瞬间的感觉 CI0C1/:@
将他们结合在一起 3AtGy'NTp
这种确定的感觉很美 N7zft
但那种不确定的感觉 #$07:UJ
却更加妙不可言 Hyl%mJ

他们觉得彼此从未见面 M#6W(|V/
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 &-6Gc;f8
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 `wEb<H
或者他们曾在哪儿擦身而过呢 Np9<:GF1
cd_yzpL@}J
我想问问他们 ;7V%#-
是否记得在某个回转门 nPl?K:(
那个面对面的瞬间? =z69e%.
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? #&aqKVY
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? '[:D$q;
但我已经知道答案了 u'DRN,h+
不,他们并不记得 g-bK|6?yz

运气也曾经给过他们暗示 ??vLUv
但这暗示也许过于深奥 xj;H&swo
可能在三年前 ~Otoqu|
或者就在上个星期二 @9RM9zK.q
不是就有一片落叶 Ai?*s%8v
从他的肩上飘到她的肩上? k(G^z
一个人的东西曾经掉落 WO>nIo5Y
又被另一个人拣起来 s$`0yGmQ
谁知道呢 {Gk1vcq

[<yaXQxl
某个门把手上 ^A&1^B

两个人的手

两个人的包 )}Kf=
