聽著這首歌,
車子駛進隧道,
她終於流下凝在眼眶的淚水。
I can't sleep tonight
everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
流淚不因為這歌對她存有什麼特別意義,
只因為,
她真的已好久不能入眠。
憂鬱的人,
只要是略帶悲傷的旋律或歌詞,
都能觸發他們過盛的情感,
愁緒突然泉湧而一發不可收拾。
更何況,
她真的已有好久一段日子不能入眠。
那句『Still I can't close my eyes』,
牽扯了她的淚腺,
淚腺的另一頭,
繫著一段心力交瘁的回憶。
淚腺敗了,
回憶在她體內迅速擴散。
她閉上雙眼,
稍為止著流淚,
同時,嘗試感受這種酸澀的刺痛。
平日胃痛或經痛,
愈痛,身體肌肉總愈不由自主的緊張,
試過一次痛得厲害,
晦氣地放鬆身體,由它痛罷,
沒想到,
這痛楚出乎意料地容易接受。
甚至當她開始陶醉的時候,
這痛楚愈來愈微弱,
直至再感覺不到。
當她張開眼睛,
車子亦剛好駛離隧道,
光線令瞳孔猛一下收縮,
她回過神來,
用棉織袖子印去淚水。
淚水凝在纖維上,然後化開。
她深吸一口氣,
把情感壓在鎖骨以下。
這刻的思海,
比止水更平靜。

liquid love
we are the denizen of our liquid, modern society.
we are despairing at being abandoned to our own wits, feeling easily disposable;
we are yearning for the security of togetherness,
and for a helping hand to count on in a moment of trouble,
and so, we are desperate to relate.
Yet we are wary of the state of being related,
and particularly of being related for good,
since we fear that such a state may bring burdens we feel neither able nor willing to bear.
There is no easy answer to how to tie the relationship,
or how to take it apart without harm and with a clear conscience.
