They both thought  96F:%|yG  
that a sudden feeling had united them  @18@[	:d"  
This certainty is beautiful,  xM%E;  
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.  (5d~0

They thought they didn't know each other,  jG{}b6  
nothing had ever happened between them.  %5RYa<oP  
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,  @M4~,O6-  
they could have passed each other long ago  ^ j@Q2>&?

I would like to ask them,  9#%(%s2+  
if they can remember -  H<`[,t  
perhaps in a revolving door  *Rshzv[  
face to face one day?  W0$G7s  
A "sorry" in the crowd?  xtjTU;T  
"Wrong number" on the phone?  9Q :IgY?T  
- but I know the answer.  ?{q w

No, they don't remember.  l1c&a[M)

How surprised they would be  h`%K\C  
for such a long time already  c%)uG	_  
fate has been playing with them.  [p@NzS/

Not quite yet ready  p)tac*US  
to change into destiny,  tH:ea$A  
which brings them nearer and yet further,  17{]QuqNF  
barriering their path  ^iubqtT]  
and suppressing a laugh,  %R;cXs4r

There were signs, indications,   CV4V_G  
but maybe just undecipherable.  +,>f-kaV  
Three years ago, perhaps  Kggf!\MR8  
or even last Tuesday,  1:7>Em<s  
this leaf flying  nAF@47Wo  
from one shoulder to another?  v\-"NHl  
Something was dropped and then picked up.  C?rL>_+71  
Who knows, perhaps the ball vanished  CpS'2@6  
into childhood bushes?  Beqhe\{

There were handles, door bells,  :G^`LyOM  
where, on the trace of a hand,  ENC_#-1x  
another hand was placed;  =(v!pEF

他们都以为  'dWJ#9C  
是那瞬间的感觉  #]lUJ

将他们结合在一起  &K>]!yn	  
这种确定的感觉很美  Wlg(z%

他们觉得彼此从未见面  %\~;I73  
也许从来没有发生过任何联系  )lw7W9  
但那么多街道、楼梯、走廊  MruWt*  
或者他们曾在哪儿擦身而过呢  $+Pv

我想问问他们  Z$zUy|s[  
是否记得在某个回转门  b	V9Z[[\  
那个面对面的瞬间?  >.{

拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」?  (X!/tw,.

不,他们并不记得  _D,8`na>K

原来  uTl:u  
运气一直在和他们捉迷藏  /kw4":{]

但这运气  ^OBaVb  
却还没有成为命运  c4-&I"z  
它曾让他们如此接近  &V=54n=O?

运气也曾经给过他们暗示  :/~vaCZ

可能在三年前  _23sIUN c3

不是就有一片落叶  B4|`Z'U#;
