They both thought HKqwE=NZ
that a sudden feeling had united them 9f',7i

They thought they didn't know each other, NDs!a
nothing had ever happened between them. $P(v{W)
These streets, these stairs, this corridors, gOr%!QaF

I would like to ask them, \L(*]:EP
if they can remember - L. EiO({W
perhaps in a revolving door cu% C"
face to face one day? ( @3\`\X
A "sorry" in the crowd? 't_[dSO
"Wrong number" on the phone? {.De4]ANh

How surprised they would be 59!Fkd3

Not quite yet ready ,daKC
to change into destiny, @E-\ J7 yh
which brings them nearer and yet further, UY <e&Npo
barriering their path &CIVL#];e

There were signs, indications, :LQ5u[g$\

Three years ago, perhaps {fEwA8Ir
or even last Tuesday, u&9 r2R959
this leaf flying ,N

Something was dropped and then picked up. [ e8x&{L-_

There were handles, door bells, +]|Z%;im

another hand was placed; q~59F@

我想问问他们 "iM~Hy
