C'est La Vie

Last night, I was reminded of the shared pain and humiliation that once bound us together. The connection has stayed as we waited for the shame and anger to melt away into a neutered past that we can eventually learn to live with but never understand. Occasionally, gently, and mockingly brought up as a tribute to the vanity and foolishness of our youth, it is a ghostly spectre whose absence and presence are equally lamentable in more ways than one. Of course, I speak for myself.

It’s harmless as it is hopeless to have this kind of knowledge. I only think it’s fair to be informed. I rather it came from me to you, than anyone else.

But you must know, that I am Living Constant Proof, how much you were held in regard. The same way I take comfort in and draw strength from your confession so many years ago, that you didn't think I was deluding myself.

It was someone else who hoodwinked us. And we are the better for it.

oh 塞纳河的水是心的眼泪
流过了漂泊的人生风景
愿我们各自都有美好的一生
美好的憧憬爱在遗憾里更清晰

也许我会再遇见你
像恋人般重逢美丽

c'est la vie
