an atypical middle-aged man
你是个非典型中年男人
got no grey hair, only gracious temper
头发乌黑 脾气温和
an atypical sensible child
你像个智力超群 性格敏感的小孩
visions far beyond his peers
一直比同龄人见识更广
that''s what remains on you
这两种人格融合在你身上
the combination of two
却毫无分裂感
got me thinking, so magical
所以我一直以为
that you never grow old
你不会变老


named you ''walking encyclopedia''
她称你为“行走的百科全书”
my favorite book before I grew up
这是我长大过程中最爱的书籍
write your philosophy on test papers
我在作文中写下你的人生哲理
the speech by the natatorium as the crowd scattered
你在人群散去的游泳馆旁告诉我的那席话 我一直记得
time taught me incisive lessons
可时间终究是更好的老师
slowly turned your pages yellow
你的哲理相形见绌
this outdated book has no more heroes
这本书籍更新缓慢 褪去了英雄光环
heroes, they never grow old
因为英雄好像从未变老


I''m a sinister child
我是个只会惹事的孩子
had you driving back to the airport at midnight for my left-behind
大半夜让你开车返回机场 去取我遗落的书包
waiting in the rain for hours
又或是看着你在雨中等了我数个小时
or searching for a parking space and missed our last goodbye
因为找寻停车位而错过了我们最后一次告别


you have your own sanctuary
你内心有个避难所
reticence embraced, communication erased
你的缄默和孤独在此安放
leaving solely our memories in the old phone
但你在旧手机相册中留存的全是我们的回忆
a tatty stitched birthday present, you keep it anyway
小时候作为生日礼物送给你的一个老旧十字绣 你也一直留在抽屉中


the character engraved in my soul
你的性格根深在我的骨子中
your eyes, your nose, the shape of your bones
我们的五官和骨架如此相似
with these, I have few to ask for
或许除此之外 我别无所求
with these, I have few to ask for
或许除此之外 我别无所求
