I am awake. She has come to me
In my sleep, as she used to do bringing comfort.
I am left this time with terrified sadness.
Her face was sad. She looked on me with pity.
“Do you remember the last evening
When I left you weeping? I
Had known it was time.
I could not quite tell you then
What must be true--
You will not see me again in the world.”
現在我是清醒的。
但我知道在睡夢中她曾經來過,就像以前帶給我安慰一樣的到我身邊。
只是這次她將我留在讓人恐慌的悲痛中。
她的臉龐看起來好哀傷,看著我的神情充滿憐憫。
「你還記得我來找你的最後一晚
我留下你,自己哭著離開的那晚?
當時我知道自己大限將至。
但我不知道該怎麼開口告訴你
告訴你即將成真的那件事:
此生你是再也看不見我了。」
os: 人之將死,最不想的就是讓身邊的人難過。也許,他們也只能在夢中將自己說不出口的話一吐為快。無論是在世界的哪邊,告別都是一樣困難的。
