一次幸福的机会

在那么有限的生命中
能被所爱的人深深爱过
或许不该再奢求再怨什么
世上的遗憾本来就很多

Had dinner with Hwee, whom I have not seen for close to a year ever since she embarked on her Masters in Auckland, New Zealand. Shared inevitable gossip and unenviable lowdown on mutual friends, otherwise known collectively under a neutral header called updates.

Me: So we just drifted apart, I guess.

Hwee: How can that be, L and *insert Mr Vein’s real name” always 迁就 you?

Me: They do? I don’t feel it. L maybe, because he is really very, very accommodating back then even when I’m being ridiculously unreasonable. But, Mr Veins?

Hwee: Mr Veins always gives in to you!!!!

Me: Oh really.

Hwee: What’s wrong with the two of you. Damn weird siah.

Thing about meeting up with an old friend is that you naturally dig up the past for continuity and out pour the skeletons and ghosts from the invisible wardrobe.

在艰难的说了再见后
你真的不该再紧紧抱我
刚才还能体谅的放开你的手
不代表我就够坚强洒脱

Confronted (and confounded) by an utterly opposing opinion, you find yourself scouring the long abandoned site of severance for signs that could sit in anywhere but the middle.

I must not relent. I have moved on well enough and there’s no turning back.

But veins aside, meeting Hwee did make me wonder what happened to some people.

Perhaps I will contact a couple and see where that takes me.

Which begs the question why must I be the one.

我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
当玫瑰和诺言还没枯萎
别说抱歉我不后悔
曾经逆风和你一起飞
