窗外有藍天 - 山居筆記

 
 
五月裡一個晴朗的早晨，我在台北市的某個角落，和小王子先生再次擦肩而過。

我們像往常一樣，在肩並肩的那一剎那（五秒鐘？十秒鐘？一分鐘？），迅速交換第一手情報。

「最近看什麼書？」

「理想的下午。你呢？」

「小王子。」

啊... 感覺心被輕輕觸碰了一下。沒想到這個皮膚黝黑，傻里傻氣，日常生活裡除了工作就是打球的漢子，也有一顆柔軟的心。

「哈哈哈...小王子？不會吧，那不是給小朋友看的書嗎？」

我戲謔地笑著。

「誰說大人不能看小王子啊。妳看妳，就是有妳們這種人，旅遊書才會越出越多，良莠不齊，一點質感都沒有。」

這人，就是不甘示弱。

我白了他一眼，自顧自咯咯地笑了起來。

只見他嘴角微揚，眼裡閃過一絲悵然，又迅速恢復那副總是讓我恨得牙癢癢的一派淡然。

「下次，不知道什麼時候再見面了。」

這是他第一次這麼對我說。

我有點慌了，卻故作鎮定，點點頭。

然後，我們分道揚鑣。

那是我最後一次見到他。

故事到這裡，你們說，該悵然，還是淡然？

＊ ＊ ＊

我當初真該向他開口說些什麼的啊！

《延伸聆聽》 Anyone At All

============================================
Anyone At All

Funny how I feel more myself with you
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You've become the memory I can't erase

You could have been anyone at all
A stranger calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

It wasn't in the plan, not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within your arms, I can say what's true
Nothing in the world I would keep from you

You could have been anyone at all
An old friend falling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

Words can hurt you, if you let them
People say them and forget them
Words can promise, Words can lie
But your words make me feel like I can fly

You could have been anyone at all
A net that catches me when I fall
I'm so glad it was you... so glad it was you
