They thought they didn't know each other, ez)Ks`
nothing had ever happened between them. R@/"B?`(f

I would like to ask them, 9sd}Z,l
if they can remember - H*+7{;$
perhaps in a revolving door 065 =I+Vo
face to face one day? i}i>ho-8
A "sorry" in the crowd? |JP'j1 Ka
"Wrong number" on the phone? *[BtW56-

No, they don't remember. r.6?|

Not quite yet ready H*P+>j&
to change into destiny, v&3"(fp
which brings them nearer and yet further, g jzWW0C
barriering their path XW@C_@*J

There were signs, indications, fwMYEj
but maybe just undecipherable. s0/m qZ]s
Three years ago, perhaps [p}~M-$V8Y
or even last Tuesday, %}Y&qT?
this leaf flying {;zHkmx
from one shoulder to another? ^tWSu?9
Something was dropped and then picked up. |$ZS26aYw}

There were handles, door bells, B,%KvL&xMX

他们都以为 ^T1caVb|>
是那瞬间的感觉 MBKF8b'k
将他们结合在一起 >uQjygjj

他们觉得彼此从未见面 eWD!/yr|
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 a\Gd;C ^`

我想问问他们 42-T&7k
是否记得在某个回转门 g}a+%Obb
那个面对面的瞬间? f><V;D#
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? r;H#cMj
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? 9(vp`Z8B4
