I Remember As You Were in the Last Autumn

I remember you as you were in the last autumn:
White shirt, beige khaki pants
Soft curly hair surrounded by the golden hue from the Autumn Sun.
Steering the wheel with left hand, you waved goodbye to me with right hand.
Then your eyes moved away, gazing forwards afar.
I air-kissed your profile from distance as you drove away;
Seeing beyond your eyes,
The sky clear without clouds but only the color of blue
After minutes and many hours, we joined together in the digital world
From the two ends of the Earth, chatting and laughing,
Combing through each other's happenstance since
along with our longings
For each other from pieces and bits of what we miss
Then came the autumn typhoon lingering to stay
For 48 hours burning our hearts into anxiety
Finally, I heard your voice again
In cheerful mood we looked forward to being united
The digital reading showed: in five days
The rings tore the quiet night sky
The digit spoke out: only four hours had passed since our last talk
In a daze, I crossed two continents ……
You were quietly asleep there
Digits surrounded you
But hid the key of the only 24 hours remaining
A sleepless night
From time to time I whispered to let you know how much I missed you
The morning came;
In serene moments,
I read for you the three of your favorite poems by Robert Frost:
'The Road Not Taken', you liked it by telling me with your moving eyelids
'Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening', you seemed not to care
'Nothing Gold Can Stay', your eyelids were lightened up again.
Afternoon, the sound of people, footsteps and paper flipping,
My whispering voice, soaked in tear glands, mingled with
Your eyelids: flickering slightly, turning red, then full of tears
Flowing from your eye corners,
The tears of yours, mine, and ours,
Converged in our hearts on this late autumn day,
Carved in the last autumn: Our eternity of this life
Outside window, the autumn leaves in light purple, deep red and golden
In wind had slowly and gradually fallen
In the clear and cool air Wind drove us
Wave by wave the rustling sound of wind
Was telling the moments of our rendezvous
Recalling in memory of our shared life
Ah! Remember,
I remember you as you were in the last autumn --
记得你去年秋天的模样

记得你去年秋天的模样
白色衬衫，米色卡其裤
柔鬈的头发上环照着秋阳的金光
左手握着方向盘，右手挥舞向我告别
移离的目光凝视前方
你驾车渐渐驶离时我向你的侧影抛出了飞吻
顺着你的目光望尽
碧空如洗，万里无云，惟有一片蓝。
几十分钟、几十个小时后……
我们在数字世界中重逢
我们相会于地球的两端
谈笑间
细述各自的零零总总
和一点一滴汇成的思念
秋日持续的台风季降临
燃烧成你我48小时的焦灼
终于，你的声音再现
我们在欢欣中期待相见
数字显示：还剩五天
铃声撕破寂静的夜空
数字说：才四小时之前我们刚通过话
恍惚间，我跨越了洲际……
你静静地在那里安眠
数字环绕着你
却隐去了只剩24小时这一关键
一夜无眠
不时向你倾诉我无尽的思念
早晨来临;
静谧时分，
为你读了你最喜欢的弗洛斯特三首诗:
未择之路，你用眼睑告诉我：你喜欢
雪夜停留林中，你似乎没有共鸣
天赋金逝因果存，你的眼睑重燃生机。
午时，人声脚步声纸张翻动声
我浸润在泪腺中的耳语声
与你微微闪动、变红和盈满热泪的眼睑呼应
你眼角中渗出了热泪，你的与我的，我们共同的，
在这深秋之日交汇于心
刻下去年秋天
今生的永远
窗外，淡紫浓红金黄的秋叶
在风中缓缓落下
清冷的空气中
风驾驭着我们
阵阵飒飒声浪
倾诉着我们相遇的时光
洄漾着我们共同的一生
啊！记得，记得你
去年秋天的模样--
