I smiled when a foreigner walked by me today

cuz I know that soon I will be able to smell your cologne and feel your warmth again.



I almost teared up when I heard the actors talking about "forgetting" on the stage today

cuz I don't wanna forget about you in the future,

even though it may be painful to think about the past if things come to an end.



I remember her talking about the boyfriend who passed away.

People told her not to think about him anymore so that she would be able to move on,

but she refused.

She said she wants to think about him because she doesn't not wanna forget. 

As they said, if people die, they can only live in people's memory.

人死了，就只能活在別人的回憶中了。

即使想念的心情可能是複雜的，依舊不想忘記。



妳的文章也讓我好感慨，

「牽手散步原來也是一種奢侈的幸福」。

即使立場不同，也深深覺得很多平凡的幸福是奢侈的。

我們總是在碰到生命中變故、被電影或書本提醒時才會想到要珍惜身邊的人、珍惜當下，

是不是可以努力經常讓自己記得這件事呢？



我們能做的也只是對彼此說加油，

當大家面臨著不同的情況、無奈和沉重。

知道一聲加油實質上幫助不了對方甚麼，

但是多少給了彼此去面對、堅持下去的勇氣。

即使很多事情不是我們所能控制的，

我們還是可以在自己能力所及範圍內努力。



Hang in there, for the possibility and the chance.

即使最後結果不見得、不容易能如願，

至少盡力嘗試了，得以減去過多的遺憾。
