I am sad that you had to leave me, but please don’t worry. I am content, knowing I will be with you soon. I know it won’t be long before we meet again in that small cafe in Hanover Square.
第一次见到你,真的已经是62年前的事了吗?我明白,这是一生的缘分。但此时,当我凝望着你的双眸时,一切又都像是就发生在昨天,在汉诺威广场的那间小咖啡店里。
当时,你正在为一位年轻的母亲和她的新生宝贝开门,就在那一瞬间,我看到了你的微笑。从那一刻开始,我就知道,我要与你共度我的余生。
时至今日,我仍然觉得,初次遇到你时,我凝望你的眼神看起来一定很愚钝。我记得,当时我呆呆地望着你摘下帽子,用手指轻柔地抚弄着你的黑发。
你把帽子放在桌上,双手捧一杯热气腾腾的茶,嘟着嘴轻轻地吹开热气,那一刻,我感觉自己已经完全沉醉在你的一举一动中了。
从那时起,每一件事对我来说都好像是有意义的。咖啡店里的人们,以及行走于匆忙的街道上的人们顿时都消失在了迷雾之中。我的眼中只有你。
在我的一生之中,那次的初遇曾多次在我的脑中重现。一次又一次,我坐在那里,回味着当时的情形,感受岁月如梭,再次体味着你我初遇时的那份真爱。令我感到欣慰的是,多年以后的今天我仍然能够重拾那份感觉,而我也知道这是我生命中永远的慰藉。
即使我在战壕中不由自主地战栗和发抖时,我也没有忘记你的容颜。我蜷缩在潮湿的泥浆中,恐惧和枪林弹雨包围着我。我握着步枪,将其紧紧地贴在胸口,再次回想着我们的初遇。当战争的号角吹响时,我在恐惧中大叫。但是当我想到你,看到你在我的背后微笑,周围的一切顿时便陷入沉寂,我与你在这宝贵的时刻里相遇,暂时远离死亡和毁灭。直到我再次睁开双眼,我才又看到和听到周围的战火和屠杀。
9月,我回到了你身边,那时的我,因受伤痛的折磨而变得脆弱不堪,我无法告诉你我对你的爱是多么的强烈。我们彼此紧紧拥抱,仿佛想溶入对方的身体,就在这一天,我向你求婚。当你注视我的双眼,说“我愿意”时,兴高采烈的我兴奋得大叫。
此时,我正看着我们的结婚照,我一直把它放在梳妆台上——你的首饰盒旁边。那时的我们是多么年轻和天真啊!我记得你说我穿制服很神勇英俊,而那时我正站在教堂的台阶上,咧着嘴笑得像只柴郡猫。这张照片已经有些泛黄和褪色,但是当我看着它,眼里却只有我们年轻时灿烂的容颜。
一年后,你轻轻地将我的手放在你的腹部,悄悄地告诉我,我们有孩子了,而那一刻,我记得我几乎被这突如其来的幸福击倒!
我知道我们的两个孩子都深深地爱着你,此时,他们就在门外等候着。
你记得吗?乔纳森出世时,我是多么慌张!我还记得,当我第一次把他抱在怀中,你含笑望着我时的表情。微笑中,你的眼泪夺眶而出,我望着他,也流下了开心的眼泪。
萨拉和汤姆今天早上带着小泰西来了。你还记得我们初次看到我们的小孙女时,曾紧紧地拥抱在一起吗?
亲爱的,我知道你很累,我必须要放你走。但我是如此爱你,让你离开,我好难过。
亲爱的,我必须得走了,孩子们正在外面等我,他们也希望能同你道别。
你要离开我了,我很悲痛,但是请不要担心,只要一想到我很快就能去陪你,我就感到欣慰。我知道,不久之后,我们就会在汉诺威广场上的那间小咖啡店里再次相聚。
心灵小语
当爱到了一个境界,就会冲破生死的束缚。真爱,是永恒的,不会因为时间、地域又或其他而改变。当一个人真爱一个人,不管他们是否阴阳相隔,他们的心都在一起。

Please Let Me Have a Little World
佚名 / Anonymous
Please, my dear husband, be so generous as to let me have a little world of my own. If you find me scrawling on a piece of paper, please don’ t peep over my shoulders. It may be that I’ m venting some pent-up feelings, long denied expression, or trying to compose a little poem not yet presentable for the time being, or attempting to sketch out something visualized from my childhood memories which glows in my mind like a rainbow. When I am in such a mood, please leave me alone and let me write as the pen dictates.
Don’ t disturb me, my dear, when I get nostalgic over some old photos or letters which bring tears to my eyes or smiles on my lips, for those were things that had happened to me before I met you, the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions that taste like green olive or glitter like scattered pearl. They are my cherished memories which, ready as I am to share with you, I would like to indulge in by myself for a while.
I hope you won’ t mind when I go without you for a nice chat with a close friend of mine. You are my bosom friend, but you cannot take the place of other friends any more than they can do yours, l need their care, encouragement and sobering criticism just as I do yours. A starless sky with a solitary moon would be dull and cheerless, why not let there be a moonlit night resplendent with twinkling stars?
I may occasionally want to make a tour of faraway places. Please, don’ t hold me back when I start packing for it. You are the center of my life, but certainly not the whole of it. I yearn to see the mysteries and wonders of the world miles away beyond the mountains; so let me have a chance to explore my “Alice’ s Wonderland” as a “long ranger”. Some time later when I come back to you with exotic experiences and fresh insights, I’ m sure you will look at me in a new light.
My dear husband, so long as you let me have such a little, little world, I’ ll be very much indebted to you.
亲爱的丈夫,请你慷慨地让我拥有一个属于自己的小小世界。如果你发现我在一张纸上乱写乱画,请不要在身后偷偷窥视。我可能只是在发泄一些被压抑的情感,它们长期没有机会倾诉;或者我正试着构思一首小诗,只是现在还羞于见人;或者我在试着描绘一些童年记忆中的影像,它们像彩虹般在我的脑海中熠熠生辉。当我沉浸在这样的心境中,请让我一人独处,任由自己信笔涂鸦。
亲爱的,请不要打扰我。当我对着一些老照片或书信沉思默想、啼笑皆非时,眼里会饱含泪水或嘴角挂着微笑,因为那些都是我遇到你之前发生的事。有欢乐,也有忧伤;有离别,也有相聚,如同咀嚼一枚青涩的橄榄,也如同散落的珍珠闪闪发光。它们都珍藏在我的记忆深处,尽管我愿意与你分享,但我更希望独自徜徉其中。
当我独自外出,与一位挚友聊天时,希望你不要介意。你是我最亲密的朋友,但你不能取代我其他朋友的位置,正如他们也不能取代你一样。就像我对你的需要一样,我也需要他们的关心、鼓励和友善的批评。夜空中,如果只有孤寂的月亮,而没有群星闪耀,会是一片沉闷,了无生气,为何不让闪耀的月光和璀璨的群星交相辉映呢?
偶尔,我可能想去一个遥远的地方旅行。当我开始收拾行装时,请不要阻拦我。你是我生命的重心,但不是全部。我渴望去看遥远的山那边的神秘和惊奇。所以,请让我有机会像一个“独行侠”一样,去探索我的“爱丽丝仙境”。不久以后,我会回到你的身边,带着奇特的经历和新颖的见地,我想你定会用全新的目光来看待我。
亲爱的丈夫,只要你能让我拥有这样一个小小的世界,我会对你感激不尽。

爱情,不应该是捆绑,而应该是放手,抓得越紧,流失越快;相反,彻底松开,才能获得永远。
