They thought they didn't know each other, L/:l>Ko>7
nothing had ever happened between them. _rYW|*cIF

I would like to ask them, \bd KLcKI,
if they can remember - \"ahs7ABT
perhaps in a revolving door 06Wqfzceb

this leaf flying e7GYz7

Something was dropped and then picked up. q{&c?l*2

他们都以为 }=EJM7sM|k

是否记得在某个回转门 0qNk.1pv
