“Linger”

Our love may decay,

Our thoughts may stray,

Yet the memory of love is here to stay,

For sweet is its aftertaste.

Addiction, however,

is an entirely different matter.

Never mistake it for a Cupid’s martyr.

Addiction may blind you like mystic haze,

Disguise in passionate kisses and affectionate gaze,

But it’s never love that you truly tasted,

Only your better judgment betrayed.

永恆

註：心血來潮重溫王菲的"人間"和"Eyes On Me"，聽罷這些念頭就不期然浮現腦海......

《永恆》

從不相信所謂的永恆。
「永遠」是條漫長而沒有終點的時間軸 ──
太遙遠，太難想像。
可是這一分，這一刻，
我和你緊靠着彼此，
那心跳，那體溫
那，便是我的「永恆」。

“Eternity”

There is no such thing as eternity;
Only everlasting memory.

This very moment you’re here by my side
Your fingers gently brush over mine.
To bottle up our kisses or sprinkle ‘em over the sky,
To keep them close or let them shine.

This beautiful magic of thine,
Blossoms like a fruitful vine.

We love, we age, we die.
All that’s left behind,
Are sweet memories that live forever on the spotless mind.

Why wert thou so dear?

有些人，愛過以後，想記也記不起；
有些人，愛過以後，想忘也忘不掉。
有些人，愛過以後，以為早已淡忘，
午夜夢迴，他的餘溫他的吻，眼角半濕的淚痕，宛如昨日......

If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? —
With silence and tears.
