等我

——写给某人

我不知道，

在你的眼里，

我是一座沉默的冰峰，

还是一团肆虐的烈火。

抑或是飞跃两岸的拱桥，

还是浪迹天涯的云朵。

有时候，我也会想象，

我或许是指点迷津的路标，

给你标记未来的住所。

也或许是穿透黑暗的灯塔，

为你的航线照亮夜色。

更或许是古老尘封的书籍，

为你的智慧，增加一点闪烁。

但我知道自己的渺小和软弱，

如此的寂寂无名，

最终消失在历史的长河。

就像瑰丽奇幻的星球，

放在宇宙的大尺度上，

也会毫无特色。

我在意你的痴迷和留恋，

我在意你的痛苦和欢乐。

我在意你阳光明媚的样子，

我在意你每一次的付出和收获。

我在意你说过的每句话，

我在意你精心搭配的衣着。

你在远方等我，

就像茫茫未知的结果。

我还需要祈求上苍吗？

不需要，因为我已经得到太多。

未来的未来会如何？

无非是人来人往，花开花落。

Wait for me

-- To Whitney

I don't know,

In your eyes,

I am a silent mountain of ice,

Or a raging fire.

Or the arched bridge that leaps across its banks,

Or the clouds that roam the world.

Sometimes, I imagine,

I may be the signpost that points the way,

To mark your future residence.

Or a beacon through the darkness,

Light up the night for your course.

Or perhaps the old and dusty books,

Add a little sparkle to your wisdom.

But I know I'm small and weak,

So silent and nameless,

Finally lost in the river of history.

It's like a fantastic planet,

On the grand scale of the universe,

It would be nondescript.

I care about your obsession and your attachment,

I care about your pain and your joy.

I care about your sunny appearance,

I care about your every effort and gain.

I care about everything you say,

I care about what you put together.

You wait for me in the distance,

It's like an unknown outcome.

Do I need to pray to God?

No need, because I've got too much.

What does the future of the future hold?

People come and go, flowers bloom and fall.
