It's easy to love the person you imagine, but it's hard to love the person in front of you

In any case, I still believe that there is love in it. Although love is something more ugly and lonely.

- It was a premeditated encounter.

He seemed to have only her in his eyes, following his gaze, carefully adjusting his tie. To attend a wedding, the mind is always detached from the wedding.

- He misses her and doesn't want to miss her.

He was waiting for the moment to speak to her.

He said to himself, "wish me luck" to the bartender waiter, nervous and looking forward to it.

When he held a glass of champagne in front of her, there were no greetings, and they probably didn't realize that the words they blurted out were exactly the same as many years ago.

Despite being separated for many years, they still have a tacit understanding.

It was the love that the years helped them remember, and it was also the evidence that they had been in love with each other.

It was a vague, ambiguous, even a little mystical communication, I think.

- those cliff-like memories

Not talking about feelings, but constantly remembering.

Those fragments that can be remembered actually survive after the beautification of memories and the processing of details. They are half true and false, but beautiful enough.

They talked about the scene of their first meeting, the dialogue may be hidden, and even the scene began to blur, but the throbbing throbbing was clearly remembered.

-Be careful to try, secretly like

He thought that the other party would miss the past like himself, but he had to admit that everyone had learned to look forward.

Thought she was single, but saw her wedding ring after taking off her gloves.

-Afraid you know, afraid you don't know.

Once you get too serious, it's time to end. When she asked if she was serious about her girlfriend.

He almost subconsciously denied it, as if he was ready to abandon his girlfriend and run away with her in the next second.

- a dance that forgets time

The wedding guests are gone, and they are completely unknown.

When you only see each other in your eyes, time will start to move very quickly, and you may even be afraid to perceive time.

If the wedding doesn't end, they can just keep jumping, without thinking about tomorrow, without thinking about parting.

- He just wanted to let her know that he loved her.

Eavesdropping on messages from her husband and peeking at photos in her wallet. When she heard someone call her mommy, she was stunned, shocked, and mixed.

He always felt that she deserved the best, that she deserved the best love.

She was in the bathroom, and he said some incomprehensible words outside, some incoherent, but he seemed to want to keep her through these words.

But she still didn't hear the phrase "I love you"

Probably because of this, he was able to walk away more gracefully.

- Subtle tipping points

Love is often only a momentary thing. But when you choose love, you must be prepared to face the next failure. It seemed that they could almost finish their lives, but they still hadn't taken that step. That's like a very delicate tipping point.

As Cao Baoping said: "At the moment of the critical point, it is really too subtle and too awesome. In our lives, there are many times in the 'the difference of one thought', how great this word is, it may be heaven and earth between one thought. , black and white. It will subvert and change the fate of a person or even many people. It may be a breath in the air, or it may be that you haven't moved forward. You may hesitate for a few seconds, or your mind may be blank, and this matter will pass. In such a delicate moment, nothing happens, but it is possible to step into this delicate moment and become another world.

- the same phone

Sometimes we have to admit, those damn tacit understandings don't get washed away by the passage of time. When the unexpected phone rang, she picked it up, but it was Sarah's voice, and she realized that she had picked up the wrong phone. He still answered the phone and explained it with a guilty conscience, not free and easy. At that moment they were pulled back to reality. She has a family and he has a girlfriend. She had a six o'clock flight to London, and he was going to have breakfast with Sarah.

-Leave

He stood by the taxi door and asked why she had come to the wedding.

But the answer is no longer important at that moment. They must have a tacit understanding of each other's answer. It does not mean that the answer is good, but that no matter what choice they make, they accept the result. This is emotional tacit agreement.

When the real parting comes, there are only a few words that can be said, but most people think of more real and beautiful words only with hindsight.

He closed the car door, still holding the cigarette she told him to throw away in his hand. He didn't say goodbye, but took a lot of effort to squeeze out a smile that didn't look so bitter.

- But happiness is fucking hard.

It was the love that the years helped them retain. And that shortcoming is the last romance they left to each other.

Maybe they'll never stop loving each other, though it doesn't make any sense anymore.
