I would like to ask them, ^$&k5e/}C
if they can remember - rDm'Z>nTf
perhaps in a revolving door jy]JiQB
face to face one day? `DT3x{}_S
A "sorry" in the crowd? 8k(P,o
"Wrong number" on the phone? upeU52@\

Not quite yet ready R\XKMF3mN3
to change into destiny, Cgz D$`~
which brings them nearer and yet further, y^]tahbo

this leaf flying PQ@L+],C

他们都以为 Z@Ae$ '9H
是那瞬间的感觉 5XLs} :
将他们结合在一起 b=3H
