但是你没有

记得那天，我把你的新车，撞凹了，我以为你一定会，杀了我！但是你没有。记得那天，我在你的新地毯上，吐了满地的草莓饼，我以为你一定会，厌恶我！但是你没有。记得那天，我拖你去海滩，而真如你所说的，下雨了，我以为你一定会说，“我告诉过你！”但是你没有。记得那天，我忘了告诉你，舞会要穿礼服，而你穿了牛仔裤，我以为你一定会，离开我！但是你没有。记得那天，我和所有的男人调情，好让你嫉妒，而你真的嫉妒了，我以为你一定会，抛弃我！但是你没有。是的，有许多许多的事，你都没有做，你容忍我、钟爱我、保护我。是的，有许多许多的事，我要回报你，等你从越南回来！但是你没有。【但是你没有】作者是一位普通的美国妇女， 她的丈夫应征去了越南战场， 后来阵亡了。 后来阵亡了。 她终身守寡。病逝后女儿在整理遗物时发现了母亲当年写给父亲的这首怀念诗：Remember the day ，I borrowed your brand new car and dented it? I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.?And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, a nd it did? I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.?Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were? I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.?Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug? I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.?And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.?Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do. But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me. There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vie tnam.?But you didn't.
