Stand by Me
----- This little article is dedicated to those who had lost their friends, or those who are now apart from their friends!
When we are crouching in the corner of the street,
You raise your head and stare at the far away,
Your twinkling baby blue eyes,
Seem to be full of expectancy.
What do you really see?
Are they full of our pure childhood dreams?
Are they filled up with all of our crumbled yet wonderful memory?
Or are they just reflecting the prosperous and extravagant city?
Give me a hug, baby!
I really want to feel somebody around me.
Stand by me, baby!
I need to know I’m really not lonely!
When we are wondering around the city,
You suddenly hold me so tightly.
I can even hear your heartbeats.
Your breaths become so heavy.
With no reason,
Tears burst out from my eyes.
Are we both crying?
Are we both choking?
Is it because we’ve had enough for our realism-anthem?
Is it because we both regret selling each other out to pursue this little benefit?
Or could it because we really decide to back up for each other from this moment on?
Baby, you know what,
I really want you to wipe away the tears on my face,
And ask me “May we start all over?”
Let me hear it, please! Let me hear it...
When you are packing your stuff and ready to leave the city,
I really want to ask, “Could you please take me together?”
But seeing all those redness in your eyes,
I’d rather bare and not spill it out.
You give me a last hug before going through the customs
It s probably the last time I could ever feel the warmness coming from your vein.
Right at that moment,
I am kind of feel the whole city is spinning,
And become the one and only our city.
Will we still be friend?
I ask this question more than a thousand times in my heart,
And saying yes again and again to convince myself.
Sayonara, and Bon Voyage!
Seeing you off in the airport is one of the hardest moments I’ve ever had in my life!
I promise you are not just a pedestrian,
but a friend, a real friend!
Now I’m lonely and chilly,
Jogging on the street full of maple leaves,
Searching for someone could sing something new with me,
Someone may give me a hug sometimes,
Someone may stand by me!

Stand by Me
蜷缩在街边的角落
你抬起头注视着远方
在你闪亮而蔚蓝的双眼里
似乎充满了期望
你究竟看见了什么？
是我们孩提时候的梦想？
是我们曾有的那些破碎而美好的记忆？
抑或是繁华浮世的种种声色犬马？
我不知道
但是请留在我身边不要离去
让我知道其实自己并不是孤单一人
请给我一个拥抱
让我觉得至少我也有人关心
漫无目的的徘徊在这萧瑟的城市
你忽然间紧紧地抱住了我
我甚至可以清楚的听到你的心跳
你的呼吸渐而变得如此沉重
以至我毫无理由地忽然泪如泉涌。
我们是否都在哭泣？
我们是否都在抽咽？
是否因为我们已经不想再高歌所谓的现实主义圣经？
是否因为我们都开始后悔为了追逐那一点点的利益而出卖彼此？
有没有可能是因为我们这一次真的下定决心以后决不背弃？
多想此刻你可以拭去我脸上的泪痕
然后轻声问我，“我们可不可以忘记过去？”
但是模糊的泪眼，
痛悔的心情，
让我没有了思绪
你收拾着行李准备离开这片伤心地
不只一次地想问你我是不是也可以一起？
但是当看见你布满血丝的双眼
我已不忍心再去提任何问题
这是你给我的最后一个拥抱
也是我最后一次感受那来自你心里最深处的关心
忽然觉得似乎整个城市此刻正围绕着我们而转动
仿佛成为了只属于我们的城市
才意识到原来这里充满了我们的太多回忆
我们是否还能继续做朋友？
这个问题我问了自己不下千次
一遍一遍的回答着“是”企图说服自己
再见了，我的朋友！
祝你一路顺风！！
这一刻我一生也不会忘记！
多么想亲口告诉你，
对我而言你并非只是一个匆匆过客，
而是我最真挚的朋友！
如今我孤身一人慢跑在这洒满红枫叶的街道，
默默搜寻着一个能与我一起高歌，
能偶尔给予我一个拥抱，
能在我最需要的时候站在我身后给与我支持的朋友。。。
一个真正的朋友！
Someone may stand by me!
