They thought they didn't know each other, $i]G'fj
nothing had ever happened between them. AtYqD<hl:

I would like to ask them, ,Aw

if they can remember - RAB'%CY4

face to face one day? `Y_G*b.Rm
A "sorry" in the crowd? 8Ai\T_l
"Wrong number" on the phone? 7-A/2/G<

No, they don't remember. >vKOG@I

Not quite yet ready O

There were handles, door bells, ve^gzE$<I

是那瞬间的感觉 9DdR"r'7
将他们结合在一起 nh*6`5yj

他们觉得彼此从未见面 "!ks7:}v
也许从来没有发生过任何联系 )H(i)$I

我想问问他们 cx]H8]ch7
是否记得在某个回转门 ow{J;vFy\
那个面对面的瞬间? +xd@un[r<
拥挤人潮中的那句「对不起」? 'xLXj>
或者电话里的一句「打错了」? RsYMw3)G
