Open your heart / 打開心




我喜歡要步出牙醫診所之前,小姐用一如往常的口氣說,那我們就明年再見!可是她的話語裡充滿著祝福。

我喜歡和學生聚餐之後,大家若無其事地走到街角,在大太陽底下開朗地道別,彷彿我沒有要離開,感覺這樣的場景很快就會重現。

我喜歡和好久不見的女孩們坦然地訴說我的一切,在夏夜裡和她們說二十五歲是個正燦爛的年齡,不知道會不會再見面,不過這第一次比我想像地溫暖美好。

我喜歡每週去看小方和阿楷時,當孩子們被趕進浴室洗澡時,小方會擔心地問爸媽:我洗完澡時,汪達姨還在嗎?他比誰都年秩,卻比大人懂得每一刻共處的可貴。

I like it when stepping out of the dental clinic, the receptionist says in her typical way, "Then we shall see each other next year?" But her words are full of best wishes for me.

I like it when we all walk to the street corner at the end of a reunion with my former students and say goodbye without any sadness under the sun as if I weren't going away. It feels like we will gather together again without any exception.

I like it when I pour my heart out to girls whom I haven't seen for years and tell them how beautiful everything should be at the age of 25 in the summer evening with cool breezes. We are not concerned about whether there'll be another reunion because this moment shines.

I like it when I go visit the kids every week, Von will ask his parents with worries when whisked into the bathroom for a shower, "Will Auntie Wanda still be there after the shower?" Von is younger than anyone I know, but he knows better than anyone the preciousness of every minute we spend together.
