散文欣赏：《梦》
You tie my hand, gently approaching.
The door opens, and one stands before it.
"查宿舍"那个中年男人 chirps.">
随即，两名 girls enter the room. One is holding a notebook. She says:"We are married."
All at once, I panic. "We two had a little impulsive act of removing our marriage obligations and we're heading to court with it." You and I both say.
Before her starts talking, I already feel a surge of panic in my chest. "You're in bed," she declares as soon as she steps out of the room.
"I was just trying to explain to myself that we were two people and one of us left off with the marriage." You snort.
At her entrance, she pauses for a moment. I panic again, "You're in bed, too!" She says as she walks away. The room is empty except for us both standing there, our hearts pounding in our chest. We whispered something, "Oh, it's a dream." She calls out.
It was so easy to lose track of time that I almost missed the moment when she opened my door. The girls entered and took their places on the bed. My heart races as they walk into the room.
"I didn't think any longer about this." You moan, "We were living together all along, but then we decided to get married. We thought it was best for us to stay married through the day. Now we're going through a lot of things on our own. We still think we're the two of us, and that we haven't broken up yet. But I know that this is changing." You say.
As they start talking about each other, my mind goes blank. "We were two people," you say. "One of us left off with the marriage, but that doesn't mean it's over." She continues, "You're still alive, too. No matter how crazy things get, you'll always remember me in your life. I know what it was to be mine, and I don't understand why people think we love each other when they don't." You moan.
Our relationship was a mix of love and betrayal. We were both so deep but also so vulnerable. It wasn't about being together; it was about how we wanted to stay apart. We thought we still had someone there, but now the people who made us what we are no longer.
"I don't have a partner," you say. "No one does." I snort.
Then she started talking about "breaking up with him." She said, "He was so important to me in this relationship that he never left the room or left the house. He had always been here for us. He was like a shadow, part of us but not ours." You smile and say, "I can see it now. I knew what it felt like when I saw him." She says.
But then she started saying something about "hearts beating really hard" and "how you feel when you're gone." At that point, the moment we saw each other wasn't enough to keep us in our arms. We knew this was going to change forever. Our bodies wouldn't last long anymore. The memory of that moment will never fade. You can't forget how beautiful it was. It was a beautiful moment. But now, I miss seeing you every night.
