They both thought n<> ^cD
that a sudden feeling had united them )8}k.t>'s

They thought they didn't know each other, ?Ov~\[) F

I would like to ask them, O<,\tZ'N
if they can remember - y\-iGKz{0
perhaps in a revolving door 6|3 X*Orn
face to face one day? zzo93d
A "sorry" in the crowd? /%p

"Wrong number" on the phone? #^9k&t#!6
- but I know the answer. OQ 4h8,
No, they don't remember. `Eu,SvkF w

How surprised they would be gE=9K @

Not quite yet ready 5|Z8UzL
to change into destiny, ,1~zMzw ^
which brings them nearer and yet further, yuJ>xsM
barriering their path 2g?q4e,
and suppressing a laugh, 1MnC5[Q
leaped aside. U,6sR
There were signs, indications, `jTB9A"
but maybe just undecipherable. a'Zw^g
Three years ago, perhaps r#&JfAo
or even last Tuesday,

this leaf flying {.KD#W

Something was dropped and then picked up. L%{YLl-zf]
Who knows, perhaps the ball vanished zF{~Md1

There were handles, door bells, #G`K<%{?f

another hand was placed; 3^fwDt}
suitcases next to one another in the cjO%X

他们都以为 CxJ3u
是那瞬间的感觉 ='4)E6ea?
将他们结合在一起 xfI0P0+
这种确定的感觉很美 TecMQ0

但那种不确定的感觉 aBG^Xhx
却更加妙不可言 q165S

他们觉得彼此从未见面 JR15y3F
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 YwF&-~mp7n
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊 p=E#!cn3
或者他们曾在哪儿擦身而过呢 Cc%{e9e*

我想问问他们 Aaq%'07ihW
是否记得在某个回转门 GI,TE
那个面对面的瞬间? (s&]V49
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? 1i~q~O,
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? e`LkCy[_
但我已经知道答案了 D|m3.si
不,他们并不记得 4'*.3f'bp
