Mr. J

Mr. J



No one but you can deny what you have been through all these days,

You are the only one that witnesses your growth, bravery and persistence.

So, are you going to let that happen?



J先生是我在大一的時候認識的，我還記得見面的那天我們在新光三越後面的義大利餐廳吃飯，

他坐在我對面，他的身後是一面大鏡子，我總是忍不住在偷看鏡子裡面的我的頭髮，被他注意到了，

他忍不住虧我一下。



那時候他的野狼是我這輩子看到的第一部野狼吧！

我興奮的央求他載我，然後，就在那之後，我們去了孔廟、去了港邊、

也去爬了山、洗過溫泉、追逐綿羊、喝過茶。



I still remembered thoes days when once in a while you would phone me,

or rather, I would give you a ring,

tried to catch up with conversations,

tried to grab lunch or tea together,

you talked about you and your plans

I listened and listened and smiled,

Do you still remember the smile on my face?



我們的維持著一年見個不超過四次面，現在回憶起，大約每一季都會見面吧。

地點不一定，活動形式不拘，但總是肯定會開心、愉快！

之後的每次見面，他總是沒注意我變化無常的髮型，

每每都要經過提醒，才會恍然大悟的給予稱讚。



不過有一次他記得了，我們最後一次見面時。

他在我開口之前，說我把頭髮剪短了，他說好看。



How many years?

certainly it must have been a while,

you left I left

we both landed in the middle of nowhere,

wondering where to go

and how to go on



在每次聚會結束之前，我總會問他，

接下來要做什麼？！

他總會這樣回答我：

不用想這麼多，想做什麼就去做，沒有什麼不行的！



My dear,

people come and go,

but there must be something left behind,

and there is always more ahead,

just remember,

when we are back in the middle of nowhere again,

we should always be grateful that we still have each other

we should always be proud that we still have this wonderful life

and that we will have what they call ‘dreams’



So,

Don’t you dare give up!

Don’t you dare forget!

You must never lie down,

You must never lose your heart.





Love,

C
