5.20之诗:从不曾表白,却等了你一生!

记得《北京遇上西雅图2》里面有过一段深刻的对白,“什么是爱情?”,“爱如果可以做了,还会有人谈吗?”,这句话深深刻画了当代社会的许多速溶爱情。恋人们乐意借着情人节、5.20这些日子,互诉各种真假难辨的爱意,通过鲜花、礼物、美餐、朋友圈炫耀来庆祝。

但真正深爱过的人会明白,爱一个人,能经得起时间!

曾经有一首感动过无数网友的英文诗,它的作者是一位普通的美国妇女,我们甚至不知道她的名字。她的丈夫在女儿4岁时应征入伍去了越南战场,从此她便和女儿相依为命。后来,她的丈夫,孩子的爸爸不幸阵亡。她终身守寡,直至年老病逝。她的女儿在整理遗物时发现了母亲当年写给父亲的这首诗,题目是《But You Didn’t》 。

But You Didn’t

Remember the day I borrowed your brand

new car and dented it?

I thought you’d kill me,

but you didn’t

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, and it did?I thought you’d say, “I told you so.” But you didn’t.

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were? I thought you’d leave, but you didn’t.

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug? I thought you’d hit me, but you didn’t

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal

and you showed up in jeans? I thought you’d drop me, but you didn’t.

Yes, there were lots of things you didn’t do.

But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me. There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you

when you returned from Vietnam.

But you didn’t.

有些爱情可以感动全世界,却无法换来一个平凡渺小,能够共同度过的余生。什么“两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮”,当爱情与时代羁绊,只能是繁华过后空悲叹!

对于这首诗的感动,也来源于我的生活。记得我的爸爸妈妈当年分离异地长达8年的等待后再相聚,这套古典咖啡杯是当年他送给她的,他们相爱相处的点点滴滴在我眼中诠释了何谓真正天作之合的爱情。

爸爸却在我13岁的时候过世了。这是对我原本幸福家庭最痛苦和割裂的伤痛,时至今天,妈妈依然单身,她把它送给我,今天和妈妈谈起她们当年的往事,我见到她的神情依然笑靥如花,我在她眼神流转中感受到它对父亲此生不灭的爱。

爸爸短暂的一生是一种遗憾,但是你其实是世界上最幸福的男人!我们一直深爱你,从未曾忘记……
