27 June 2009

The bicycle still stands parked and locked at the gate of the school. The long walks we took, holding hands in the cover of the night and the extended conversations, as if our first date, made the key obsolete. We only rode on it once, or twice, I cannot remember. But we were dating again. I was sure.

You were crying on the bus to the airport over a span of two songs - one that played repeatedly when I first fell in love with you but thought it could never happen, another by your favourite band that looped endlessly on radio when I was 17. It was in the middle of the first song when I turned away from the speeding highway to notice your teary eyes. My sleeves were made damp, quietly. I remember the stationery shop, you said before the song began its first note. A block of hideous green passed by on our right.

The much anticipated and discussed typhoon headed away from the island on the same day Micheal Jackson passed away - you walked in from a designated smoking alleyway on the outside of the airport to tell us both, answering your own rhetorical question regarding the headlines today. It was a cardiac arrest, you also said. We accepted the news with a brief note on how sudden it was, his death and departure.

We took turns to cry in the last three days. Him first, then me, and then you. Tears, unexplained, your thoughts, unclear, my heart, in disarray. When night fell, after a long day of packing and moving and saying goodbye, I felt like I was back at the first night in Taipei, lost, though not totally, exhausted, but cluelessly.

We brought Vincent out for a walk.

On the bus a day earlier, Nick was thrilled just listening to Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed'.



After a day of water-slides and sun, we headed for pizza and ice-cream, where Nick exclaimed, "It's a perfect day!" In the morning already, we were singing to Stephanie Sun's 完美的一天.



Jeff always concludes his text messages with this: ^_^

《小情歌》的鋼琴前奏開始響起
群眾的歡呼聲淹沒了我的一陣鼻酸
我難過
因為春天要離開了
這是青鋒選擇演唱的第一首歌
“受不了
看見你背影來到
寫下我
度秒如年難捱的離騷”

中場的《生命有一種絕對》讓我釋然
或許無論甚麼
帶著他們繼續前往
那就好了
我記住了我們幾千人一起合唱的
《這天》
“總有一天我們都死去 丟掉名字的回憶再沒有意義
總有一天我們都忘記 曾為了一個越演越爛的故事傷心
總有一天我們都歎息 笑著緬懷有過的愚蠢的美麗
就讓現在過去”


我再次與蘇打綠談了戀愛。
