End of my romanticism
If ever being romantic,
only to make myself feel cinematic,
is cool,
the coolness is over.
Me asking to freeze forever than not knowing if
I’d get any more shivers,
is good.
Title: the smile that saved my fallen city
My burning wishes fade when approaching you
My thousand-word-and ten-thousand-phrase-still-not-able-to-reach-gaze is only for you
People are busily materialistic
They always walk under the proud sun that casts on the ethereal visions with heads down so don’t feel anything
On the decadent bridge of the Roman Empire
With the crowd bustling, and cars roaring across
your smile struck me as penetrating light beams
set me enchanted in a century-long millisecond
Wind rises, but summer is not young
Bikes squeak under Chinese parasols in Nanjing
I wonder if this is the sculpture of love fired in the mold I handmade.
I must admit your smile crumbled my already desperate city in a way that the whole pack of citizens fell for it.
However, I won’t be entirely responsible to contend my love for you is as deep as the ocean.
Just that…… my heart flutters when I glimpse into the alternative reality where we watch sunsets and sunrises in a blanket…
and weather through lightening and heatwaves and rainssssssssss from every corner, every plane, every dimension
Ink and paper will pave and connect our assemblage beyond the day we die
You see both the darkness and light where I smiled and cried and jumping ups and downs recklessly intense
Cus we’re so far from the end
I love you too much too.
你看懂了
你听见了
你剪下来贴了
你的感觉属于你的了
你写的刻在我柔软的心了
我依然拥抱不到
我没有多余力气拥抱的你
我脑子里里皱褶里的看不见的高低起伏
才是我唯一仅有的时而温暖时而冰冷的私处
Dear Tom,
It’s been a while since I wrote you a letter on my phone. The other day I revisited my letter to you on the front page of my website….if you ever checked it out, it’s nice, isn’t it?
The other night was very special to me. I cannot let your mesmerizing eye gaze go. It’s lingering in my mind every once in a while. I wanted to sing a song for you too, but the late night singer won’t let me, and actually I totally forgot how to play the piano.
And I can’t find a reason to sing a love song. I can’t find a color to describe you, even I tried to ask the singer to let me sing true color.
The plot sometimes was instantly forgotten after the crowd went away.
No…..I cannot lose my alertness, when there’s time I need to stop thinking.
………..this letter is far from finished. The should-haves, they fell apart. The would-haves, they ached. The could-haves, they were let go. I deeply, deeply, deeply missed and missed the train, every train, passing in time. Will Windermere lakes really be a perfect place to cry? I feel London buses and tubes are ok to cry a lot as well. Sometimes streets too. Maybe not so perfect for screaming? I used to screamed in an attic and someone called the police. (Here I deleted a sad:( mark.) are you even interested in my stories? Is anyone interested? Is it ok I send you my tears? Is it ok to send you my soaked soul?
I’m the most loyal reader of my own e-letters…am I the only one reading them? No….I’m only trapped when reading them, but when I released them into words, I was free. Can’t feel more liberalized when writing you letters, dear Tom. I love paper letters in a different way because I never get to read my sent paper letters again…that is where the magic lies. So I’m thinking of exposing your paper letter to destroy, to disenchant, to cry, to make fun of myself, but why would I do that? Or why I do this everyday to myself?
I really can’t tell if I love you, or I love my own emotions…I am happy I exist………I bring roses in my hand and I am the guardian angel of myself during the cold, cold, cold nights. I am precious and rich. I am the red bean.
So many things, the edges of the sky and the corners of the sea, the slimiest creeks creeping into crevices of sorrow, the end of everything, the lasting sceneries of non-immortals, they don’t exist. However, I, sometimes, choose not to let go and stay and love.
A dream like me…
would never come to anyone else’s sleep.
Keep it light on your feet
And breathe…
paragraph
短文
等待着你的我,会不会 等到 等待着我的你。泛黄的相片里的我和你,是我们等到的彼此。此刻的我和你,是我们互相思念的对方。
我上午九点钟的时候,伦敦时间上午两点,美国时间晚上九点。分散在世界各地的时间,就好像一盏盏亮着又熄灭的灯火。不知你那里的灯火是否通明?天气是否晴朗?微风是否温柔……
是什么在我的心里安家,然后又搬走。我的心就这样,一幢幢高楼盖起来,最后都一砖一瓦的被夷平。心里好想有个家,不用是座城堡,只是要比城堡更坚实的存在。旋转后的世界,一切都变得不同。但是我心里的家还是静悄悄的在那里守候着我。那里就是我的家。
我做梦都想当一个明星,当你的明星。你会为我尖叫,听我歌唱。在我过气的时候为我打气。在我灵感枯竭的时候,成为我的缪斯。我会是发光的星,都是因为你。
有谁能够告诉我,外面阴沉的天气,打扰到了谁的心情?细细的雨丝,淋湿了谁的肩膀?飘落的树叶,划过谁的脚边? 我知道这都不会是你,因为你和我很远,我的阴天你看不见,我的雨丝落不到你身上,我的树叶飘落不到你面前。
poems
诗歌
hold me
I’ll show you my heart in my palm
The blood it drips does my body harm
I just keep ignoring the alarm
Of love
another sea
another lipstick
another piece of cloth
when will i stop, to be pretty enough
and be inter racial changeable?
another story
another post
when can I be a cell phone
that gives out electricity
another tablet
another pill
I am a battery
and a never stop ending radio-o-o
another man
another woman
they’re all maybe human
and I’m to turn them all into plastic
another sun
another moon
constellation
and a husband and me
tripping
A trip with you and your sensibility
Sure sounds like a dream without serendipity
Full of deceitfulness, won’t lie
this some type of trip
Going outwards in search of possibilities
Coming backwards to gather something like secrecy
long flights
The flight you miss became a butterfly you’ll kiss.
The time passed will go into a big river and flow to somewhere else.
So please don’t worry honey
You will be carried
you’re gonna break my heart tonight
You’re gonna break my heart tonight
So is it the perfect time to open that long long overdue wine
I’ll sing a song for you faraway
Me loving you won’t sway so honey how can you not stay
You’re gonna break my heart tonight
I’m trying to still be alright
my best work To Tom yet
Damn unreciprocated love
Fuck terrible fuck
I just want to light a candle and float in blue water
I don’t want to come to you
My heart and soul
Your drink and gold
All floating in the blue water
I don’t want to come to you
I want everything to come to me
Devils and angels
Daffodils and oaks
I want you to come to me.
When you’re gone, not forever, not always, but ever since
When I’m high
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When I’m low
The crunchiness of the oats is insipid to chew
When you’re all I want
I want two thirds of you
And jealousy too
I miss blue
constellation
False hope lights a blue flame in my body
Burning like butterfly kisses on my heart
That’s the shape of false hope
And that’s why things are drifted apart
I think of this as drowning in honey while holding to a thin rope
Slowly sinking down into a deep hole
But the honey’s so sweet
One second it’s like the summer ocean breeze
The next it will let you freeze
That’s the shape of false hope
One will not ever leave until he finds his own road
now
when you’re in my head
Wandering around
The feelings I have is always contradictory
Sometimes I’m happy
Sometimes I feel blue
I want to put an end to this but sure I can’t
Because it’s bittersweet
Because I’m too weak
I’m just getting used to be thinking of you
love letter
I keep your love letter in my bag
Along with the train ticket from Beijing to Shanghai
Give me a feeling of reality
Is it a dream I say to myself
All I get back is your handwriting that I can’t tell
Going on and on
To the end of the page
Oh we’re traveling fast
Oh we’re traveling fast
It’s just a love letter
Some couple of notes
You made up
I don’t know why it reminds me
The day we met on the train
I can’t forget
The words you said
they are priceless
I open my eyes and it reminds me
I should never let you go
green plant
green plant, green plant
with 365,000 leaves
From my aunt, from my aunt
She who doesn’t speak
In a land, in a land
Where the flowers are sweet
I don’t know what to see to believe
I don’t know what to see
I don’t know what to see to believe
When it grows, when it dies
I never dropped a single tear
When there were butterflies
My aunt talked to them when they were near
In late September
Actually I don’t remember
There went away my aunt with the plant
There went away my aunt
There went away my aunt with the plant
little poem
i can feel like
what i die for
so many possibilities
Too little information
Over the moon
I see stars like
A million diamonds
And a goldfish’s eye
marry me
Now that we met
In a beautiful sunset
It just can’t be unseen
Where in my life have you been
Now the feelings grow
In a way that I cannot show
I can’t think in retrospect
For these are the words that I can’t take back
changeable
There’s something going on
We’ve go something going on
All the colors don’t matter now
We are interracial changeable
wings of desire (梦)
There are things that will never happen
One of them is me get your heart broken
If you’ve never touched fire
I’ll be your wings of desire
somewhere, Singapore
Pouring rain coming all of a sudden
I am wondering where’s Sudan
Sitting by the window
Looking at Singapore
I don’t quite usually enjoy southeastern weather
But Singapore
Oh Singapore
You’re a pearl even though Vermeer’ll never visit
But Van Gogh wandered here before
By the shore
a new poem
I can’t write you a new poem
With butterflies and stars
I can only buy myself a new toy
Probably may be a posh car
Honey right here we have no joy
Healing the old scars
Goodbye my never-growing-up boy
You’ll always be close to my heart
where are you
I can’t pick up the line
Between you and the far away me
I can’t sing a song
About you and the magnetized me
The moon knows
My darkest secrets, my brightest love
The feeling undoubtedly grows
When I’m thinking of
What could ever happen to us
What could happen after dusk
When the stars stop shining
The butterflies stop flying
People stop lying
I still won’t stop dreaming
a little whale
Little Whale was born in Big Sea
Once in my life I was close to you
Now Big Sea grows bigger
And no one pulls the trigger
Little Whale grows up in love
He swims faster than other dudes
Now he learns a lesson
Faster isn’t always better with no reason
Little Whale died in Japan
He was on TV when he died with you
With you he had no regret
Even though you’re not blond but a brunette
erased (unfinished)
i don’t wanna take you somewhere
all the money i spent it goes nowhere
poem nice to read on a train
You’re the moon
I’m your velvet blue
You’re the moon
I was born in late June
You’re the moon
Every night I ask if you love me too
the nearness of London
I love parks
They’re good for my heart
More importantly
You love parks as well
a strong display of affection
I don’t listen to the music you like
That’s why you don’t call me at night
I don’t see the movies you see
Cus you’ve never watched them with me
I don’t know the name of your favorite painter
You love too many
But I love only you
What is in my mind
What is in the dark
Something hard to find
In a broken heart
All I’ve waited for is emptiness
That tears me apart
Why do I have to face loneliness
When life is so hard
You loved me by chance
You’ll forget me by chance
Maybe all of this is my own imagination
I’m just a stranger you glanced at the greyhound station.
untitled
People on the bus look sad
Maybe they’re just indifferent
The granny sitting next to me is fat
She needs more exercise
and apple slices
I’m not sure
They say I can’t make it
I say
I will but actually I’m not sure
I will make it but I’m not sure now
I’m not sure for a moment
I used to know for sure
Now I’m not sure
probability
Probability is deceitful
It is illusional
I don’t believe there is a number
That can predict our future
Our future unseen
you’re the reason why I want to believe
There are things not logical
But beautiful
That’s the probability between us
if I… will you?
if I
Read what you read
Watch what you watch
Listen to what you listen to
Will you
Care what I say
Know what I think
Love who I am?
lonely without you
I don’t know what it’s like to miss you
Cus you’re on my mind all the time
I don’t know why I feel lonely without you
I’ve been dreaming a lot about you and I
Sometimes I think about other men
In the end they are all just friends
All would be meaningless
If I give up this madness
Please stop being cruel
Stop making all the rules
Follow me and don’t be a fool
Please love me like you care
No writing back ain’t no fair
I’m lonely without you being there
half moon
Half moon
Hanging high
Come back soon
Waiting dry
You’re the one I want
No matter where you’re from
I am magnetized
I want you be mine
the value of me
I want to plant you a tree
It doesn’t have to be
The one that’ll shelter you from the rain
Or the magical herb that’ll take away your pain
It’ll just be an ordinary looking tree
And I’ll be collecting the autumn leaves
the old trouble
Things of the universe don’t fit
Even all the harmonies are fake
My love for you won’t change a bit
and every step I’ll take
Will end up with you
no mood for poetry
I wanna like every picture you posted
Comment on them wittily as if without trying
but I’m not in the mood for poetry
You don’t belong with me
I’m not in the mood for poetry
And yet here’s another stupid poem for you
If I ever mastered symmetry
This line would end up with “you”, too
the flowers from yesterday
Yesterday is my favorite day
So close yet faraway
Flowers from yesterday reminded me of you
So loving and so blue
the flowers from yesterday
I have nothing to loose
I could be on the next flight to you
The flowers from yesterday knew
I looked like a fool
I thought this was love
You’re all I can think of
But when I check my inbox
I know this is a hoax
distance
when the moon rises above the willow tree
I will be thinking of you underneath
if we share the same moon we see
you’re not that far away from me
heartbreak
the heartbreak you won’t mistake
Sharper than the broken glass
The true love that you can’t fake
And no one can act
heartbreak
The heartbreak
You won’t mistake
All the risk I’m willing to take
Is to hold your hand
And jump into a lake
surreal moments
When the sun is no longer a sphere so high
We can dance even if the music ends
In my dream where stones fly
And you are my best friend
untitled
Every word has already been sung
Nothing new under the sun
Since when does god take away all the fun
From the curious nun
untitled
It’s not love. It’s illusions.
I’m not drunk. I’m high on emotions.
It’s all in my head. It’s all in my head.
I’ll love no one instead.
I’ll love you till I’m dead.
untitled
imagine me not loving you
Isn’t it awful(to imagine)?
Isn’t it awful(me not loving you)?
Isn’t it awful(at all)?
to my best male friend
When I said what I wanted to say
I was hoping you ask me to stay
But you said otherwise
I felt nothing
And I didn’t cry
Maybe I was dreaming
About giving it a try
Because I thought there was something
I couldn’t say
Because you know everything
But you choose to walk away
I know why
It’s not hard for you to say goodbye
Sleepless nights
You’ll always be a friend of mine
jealous guy
I’m jealous of everyone, everything
Name anything and I can give you a reason why I’m jealous of that
I’m the king of jealousy, but I’m not in pain
I guess you can call me an appreciative guy as well
never easy
Do you remember we holding hands
By the lake, walking
You said, I’ll never leave you alone
I said, I’ll never let you go
We were stupid to think
Holding hands by the lake walking
Was an easy thing
crazy
It’s not appropriate anymore
They’ll tell you I’m insane
But I’ll love you forevermore
For you I’ll jump out of a plane
all end up with you
People said I should move on
I think they’re right
I can’t think of you anymore
I have poems to write
Songs to sing
Drawings to draw
But they’re all me thinking of you
you got me
I promised you flowers
You got seeds
I promised you colors
You got RGB
I promised you love
You got me
feel free
Calling you whenever I feel like to
Feels like jumping into a pool regardless of wearing a swimsuit
Texting you whatever I feel like to
Feels like eating without gaining weight
Seeing you wherever I feel like to
Feels like happiness within a blink of an eye
how
How to be somebody you miss?
I posted
I made a scene
I can’t think of another way
To be somebody you miss
To be somebody you kiss
they know
Invisible I am to you
But I try not to be
I try so hard that even the hackers in my computer know I like you.
deeply
Well all those other girls
They are beautiful
But they’re not into you like me
I’m into you very very deeply
No words can describe how deep it is
don’t blame me
Don’t blame me for loving you like crazy
Cus I could have been crazier
For you I would kill a dragon
And eat it
All of it
Even the eyeballs
For you I would touch fire
Cus I’ve already done so with my soul
And it felt great.
the best
Mirrors reflect truthfully
Sounds transmit slowly
But there is always a more truthful mirror
A faster sound
But there is no more deeply a heart can love you other than mine
a tough goodbye
I’ve been alone for quite a while
I’m thinking of you
There’s no one who has that smile
I know that’s true
It’s time for me to find someone new
Slowly
But it’s like trying to fit in a smaller shoe
Painfully
It isn’t right
It isn’t right
I need you now
Taylor Swift trilogy
He’s so tall
And handsome as hell
All the girls fall
For his unbreakable spell
I don’t wanna wait forever
I just want us to be together
I don’t wanna dream whenever
Our love can’t be based on weather
I wanna be your end game
Since everything is not the same
We used to be crazy
To be mad
Now I’m your daisy
I’m the best you’ll ever have
untitled
I’m honest of my feelings
My feelings for you are delicate
I wonder
Is this real love?
Is this real love?
Is this real love?
I guess there is no answer
The answer was buried in memories
ultimate dream
I want to live in a castle on a hill
Preferably by the sea too
Where I could choose my own furniture
And the color of the curtains
If there’s a dragon
My children will become friends with him
My family and the dragon
Will live happily in the castle on the hill
this is…
This is not a moon
This is not how I say I miss you
This is me trying
To make you come back soon
This is not a love letter
This is how things work
This is what’s about to happen
To move on for the better
This is not a give or take
This is a plea for you to reply
This is not desperate
To ask you to reciprocate
stay sane
All this time I was drifting
never settle down
Every time I feel like singing
act like a clown
You will always be there saying
run away from this town
the last time
The last movie we saw
The girl just jumps and falls
The last word you said
was when I’m about to go to bed
You said
The movie was overrated
but you’re the best girl I’ve ever dated
the one
The lucky one
The burning sun
Among all things
You choose roses over guns
The unspeakable words
The false message I heard
You said you liked me
Now it sounds absurd
The train to nowhere
The wind blowing through my hair
I lean by the window
Saying I love you I swear
the story of stars and the falling of the stars
Before everything begins
there’s a girl
wishing on stars
Now that everything ends
stars became pearls
warming her heart
you
You are somebody I missed
not the one I love
not the one I sometimes think of
You are somebody I kissed
not the one I write letters to
not the one I sing songs to
You are somebody I reminisced
not the one I called during midnight
not the one I’ll dress in white
the moment
The moment that you see
butterflies kiss bees
and flowers, and him
kissing on a whim.
The moment you believe
the angels they love me
and you, and him
loving as it seems.

Dear Tom,
I don’t think we’ll ever be lovers. How sad! My awkwardness and inability to understand most of your friends’ jokes makes me a boring and alien Chinese girl. Your lyrics are beautiful but reality is not. I don’t speak the language that you speak and there’s some words I’ll know I’ll never reach. We will never be what I want us to be: you and Sydney and Amy and your many other girlfriends. But since they all turned out not ideally good, maybe I’m the one you should love. Haha. Cheers!
But I cannot convince myself. I have to become Sydney for you to love me. To be as funny, good with words and taking pictures, a thinker and a beautiful woman. I feel inferior so I have to work on my part. At the same time I feel like this is bullshit. I am who I am and I’m doing just fine. Fuck Sydney and her pretentious wittiness. I can do better. I can be funnier. I can be skinnier. My hair can be blonde as well. I can come up witty instagram captions too. How pathetic. I wish I care less about Sydney from now on. I’m certainly not the only jealous fan who thinks this way right? Please. Send help.
Love, Alex
Dear Tom,
I want this to be the last time I wrote to you. Every time I sent you a message you just can’t possibly reply. To be honest that’s not rewarding. Sorry I can’t find a better word to describe my feelings.
Legend has it that there’s an old man live in the moon under a big tree with red strings all over the tree. The old man is in charge of mortal people’s relationships. The strings he put attach two love birds together and then they will get married and have children and live happily ever after.
Everyday I pray to the old man to attach the red string between you and me together so we can...never mind this is stupid.
I’m on my plane to follow you around your Asia leg. I’m really bored. I’m tried of stalking you and Sydney. Scrolling over Sydney’s Instagram and being jealous and comparing me with her and imitating what she does, the angel of her selfie, the way she put down the caption, the makeup, the hair color... I have to stop wanting to become her. It’s not healthy and self deprecating. But she’s what you love dearly so I guess I want your love too much it start to damage my own abilities to be confident and self loved.
I want this message to be the last one I wrote you. But till the next time I write to you. I will be a better me and everyone will love me. I want girls like me to know loving you is the best thing I ever do even tho now I feel lost and question my self worth: Do I have to be a skinny model to be loved by Tom Odell becomes the mostly asked question. So now I want to take a break but I’ll never stop loving and supporting your music. They are magical.
Love,
Alex
Dear Nasa darling,
Why not writing back? I’m worried...how’s everyone at highgate? Like to hear from you more cus I miss everyone. Even Freddie! How are they now? How about that Muslim guy whose name I have no idea at all. The naming system has always been weird at highgate...
Yours,
Alex
Dear Tom
I’ve always been sad about the fact that I can’t be with you in person, but meanwhile, I feel really happy to have some to love and knowing that even though he can’t love you back the way you want him to, he will be there, somewhere, doing great.
Love, Alex
Someone told me Tom will forget about me and I don’t believe it.
For me, Tom Odell is the greatest man with a perfect memory and what he writes must be true.
But when I look into the eyes of Tom, he seems to lost his vows.
Soon! He said to the stranger sat behind him. Soon!
So I Count the seconds. Watch the hours.
Maybe it’s because we live in different time zones.
Tom’s time is especially longer.
I have kept waiting for messages from you
I hold my phone up high to get your attention
the distance between me and you is so cruel
I want to jump into the future and show you my devotion
Tom Odell
Why on earth you haven’t replied yet?
Are you too busy to even care?
Did you go back with your girlfriend?
Sure things between you and her doesn’t end
I am just a cyber dust once sat on your shoulder
Not even on it but just behind it
But I’m not giving up until I get your number
You should say it and we’ll make it
Tom Odell
There are 24hrs and you spend zero on me
There are 24000 galaxies and you can ruin all the possibilities
You are the most forgetful person to say I’ll be back soon
if the stars are mysterious and so are you too
I have kept waiting for messages from you
I hold my phone up high to save me from depression
the distance between me and you is so cruel
I want to jump into the future and see if I ever get your affection
There’s only one way how I met you.
I couldn’t believe it really happened.
I play it in my head as if it would be easily forgotten.
It could be the last time
but now that the memory is mine
And yours as well.
If only I could meet you again,
I would tell you I’m not a stranger on the train.
I would not tell you I want your love back.
I would tell you I’m Alex.
I would tell you I was born in September.
I would not tell you I have always loved winter.
I would tell you my favorite time of the day is 3:45.
I would not tell you I spend every minutes of the day missing you.
I would tell you I’d like us to meet again.
I would not tell you I never dared to ask your contact.
I would tell you every word I wrote I mean it.
I would not tell you there are millions of words I should have said.
I would tell you I love you dearly.
I would tell you I am out of ways to love you.
I would tell you I sleep with your T-shirt almost every night.
I would tell you I’m Alex.
I wake up the next day, thinking about the thousands millions of impossibility between us. And yet there is always hope.
Hey Tom,
I’m very tired right now. It’s 5AM here. But still, I’m writing a letter to you. There’s really not much to say besides you know how much I love you. I just want to share my feelings: this ever-present emptiness keeps haunting me. I don’t want you to be the ‘music star’ that fills the void. If my life was a piece of music, you could be the recurring theme. If I was a writer, I would write the most beautiful words about you. Excuse my terrible writing. Well I was talking about I feel empty inside...maybe my life is missing you to be whole. Maybe not you, but something else. I don’t know. Recently less miraculous things happen, that might cause the empty feeling. I am reading ‘Love in the time of cholera’, sadly that can’t fill the hole in my heart. I should read more! I should read! I should take responsibility for myself. But I’m barely making progress. Hope you can help. Or I should watch more Russell Brand.
Love, Alex
What is destiny? I almost forgot all the moments that make me feel so sure that you are the one. Now I’m trying to remember each one of them. They are all.......blurry. We first met at Tynemouth. That night was the most amazing night I’ve ever had. Then many things happened. I forgot you for a while. Then I was instagramming at the airport and found one of your post really funny. What’s the point of reminiscing. I should write a poem.
Imagine me not loving you
Isn’t that awful?
Isn’t that awful?
Isn’t that awful?
What if you miss me too?
Isn’t that magical?
Isn’t that magical?
Isn’t that magical?
Can we end this endless loop?
Do you still only eat vegetables?
Do you still only eat vegetables?
Do you still only eat vegetables?
Silence makes you so cruel
Do you remember the unforgettable?
Do you remember the unforgettable?
Do you remember the unforgettable?
prisoner:
I have a serious sleep problem apart from my many other problems. It has been so serious recently that I have to take medicine. Whenever I cannot sleep till around 1AM, I will call my mom to give me Klonopine. She calls it “little pill”, a nickname she gave it, but it’s actually an anti-panic agent in the treatment of panic disorder. I hate taking pills. It makes me feel like I am mentally destructed, which I am? But the pill actually kind of work. I usually have a better sleep compared to no sleep at all after taking the pill. But again, how would I know if it’s really chemically working in my body or it’s just me tricking my brain into sleep. The placebo effect you know. When even the pills don’t work, I really wish someone can knock me down and put me to sleep, but it’s usually middle of the night and I can only struggle alone. There is really nothing else I can do. I feel prisoned on the bed, the little square on which I spend one third of my life. How I wish that one third of my lifetime be joyful, or at least, painless. Life can be hard sometimes, even when you are on bed. What a hard truth to learn. I have difficult spelling “insomnia” before I came to the states, and now my dictionary starts with that word. For me, the prison time starts after I kill the light. I tell my body not to move even though all I think is the arm’s position is not right, my feet are too cold, the comforter is too heavy. Should I move? Should I call my mom to give me the pill? Should I get up and listen to some music? Oh wait, that’s even not an option for me since that would wake up my parents. I am so prisoned right? And on the next day when my parents ask me how did I sleep, I really don’t know if I should tell them the truth so that they worry as hell or pretend to have a nice sleep and at the same time feel really awful. The thing is, the more they ask, the more pressure I feel. I have pressure falling asleep. It’s exactly like how parents ask their kids how did the exam go as if they really care and it’s really important to know how did it go.
daughter:
I love my mom. I kiss her all the time. I say I love you to her everyday. Ever since I have the sleeping problem, I ask her to sleep with me whenever she wants to. Even though she being there doesn’t help me sleep, I just like touching her everywhere. She has the most silky skin. I must have the Oedipus complex. I don’t like my father that much. He smokes and spent too little time with me before I got sick. And I got sick largely because of him. I blame him for not being able to sleep. I’ve never truly lived with a him till now and I just cannot get used to it. I have trouble living with my dad. That’s why I can’t sleep during the night. I used to happily live with my mother, but my mom was unhappy because she needed my father. Now my parents are happy together and I am sad and sick. The book says, a bipolar patient cannot live alone. I don’t know if it’s true but my parents must believe I am safer living with them. “All I want is you to be happy.” That’s what they always saying but what they really want me to graduate happily, then go to work happily, then get married happily, then have kids happily, then they will be too old to worry about my happiness. Maybe I just can’t live with two human beings at the same time. It’s too crowded for me. I’m almost falling out of the bed.
wonderer:
Tonight, I will show you how dreams are prepared. People think It’s an easy and simple process, but it’s more complicated than that. As you can see, a very delicate combination of complex ingredients is the key. First, we put in some random thoughts. And then we add a little bit of reminiscences of the day…mixed with some memories from the past. Love, friendships, relationships and all those “ships.” together with songs you heard during the day, things you saw, and also personal…Okay, I think it’s one. There it goes. I am talking quietly not to wake my self up. I am on my bed. What am I doing? Am I just lying? Trying not to move even though part of my skin itches so bad? What am I thinking? Am I asleep? Dreaming maybe? What kind of dream? good one? nightmare? Am I dead? Where does my soul wonder when I am asleep but not dreaming? And where does it wonder when I am dead? I don’t know. But I do remember. I remember everything but dreams. Dreams are too difficult to remember. They are not real. I try to remember one of my dreams recently. In that dream, I was young again. I was back at high school. There were math functions on the blackboard. That’s all I can remember now. But my dream felt like a longer story with so much more detail. The details make the dream feel real. I dreamed a movie but I can only write 3 sentences about it. I cannot see that movie again. I cannot wonder back to that place again. We live by our memory, day and night. When I recall certain period time of my life, it feels like a dream. His name is Nasa. He is tall and wears glasses. Her name is Asia. Her job is a journalist and a spy. His name is Guy and he looks like Donald Trump. Her name is Pam. She is a nurse and she is colorblind. They are people I met in London Sapphire Ward in 2017 summer. Their name changes everyday at that place. I saw the clock went backward for one second there. What’s Nasa’s real name? Did Guy fake his American accent? What exactly does Asia do for living? How old are they? Was that real or was I, wondering?
In Your Blood
[Intro]
Help you, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes You feel like giving up
But You just can't
It isn't in your blood
[Verse 1]
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
You’re overwhelmed and insecure, give you something
You could take to ease your mind slowly
Just have a drink and I'll feel better
Just take her home and I'll feel better
Keep telling you that it gets better
Does it ever?
[Pre-Chorus]
Help you, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes You feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help you
You’re crawling in your skin
Sometimes You feel like giving up
But You just can't
[Chorus]
It isn't in your blood
It isn't in your blood
[Verse 2]
You’re looking through your phone again feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, You hate this You’re trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh
Is there somebody who could...
[Pre-Chorus]
Help you, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes You feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help you
You’re crawling in my skin
Sometimes You feel like giving up
But You just can't
[Chorus]
It isn't in your blood
It isn't in your blood
[Bridge]
You need somebody now
You need somebody now
Someone to help you out
You need somebody now
[Pre-Chorus]
Help you, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes You feel like giving up
But You just can't
[Chorus]
It isn't in your blood
It isn't in your blood, oh
[Outro]
It isn't in your blood
You need somebody now
It isn't in your blood
You need somebody now
It isn't in my blood, as well
飞机比eat早到,请问是飞机飞的快了,还是时间过的快了?
我想打电话就打电话给你
感觉就像不穿泳衣就想跳进游泳池里
我想给你发任何信息就发任何信息
感觉就像吃东西但不会长胖
我想在哪里见你就在哪里见你
感觉就像一眨眼间感觉到了幸福
可能没有人记得五年前的七夕发生了什么,可是我的人生就在那年彻底被改变了。那天晚上我可能发了2000条微信,白天发了几百条朋友圈。我都记得很清楚。现在想起来觉得自己真是太聪明,又傻的不行。我这五年来从来不奢望会在对的时间遇到对的人,每次疯狂地爱上一个人之后,我觉得自己的爱已经用完。可是每次我依然选择继续去爱,爱得感天动地。这么说你可能会觉得夸张,怎么可能爱得感天动地?我不想告诉你具体都发生了什么,只是希望你知道,我虽然孤独了这么久,但是每次选择义无反顾去爱的我从来不孤单。每一次伤害,都让我更加懂得如何去爱。又是一年七夕,我希望所有人都能爱得勇敢,勇敢去爱。
等到一切都尘埃落定再做决定不是我的风格,在一切尘埃落定之前就做决定也不是我的风格,我的风格是更智慧,更随机,更感性,更不会令我后悔的风格,具体说就是在尘埃落定之前和尘埃落定之后的那一瞬间作出决定。我不能说我的决定都是正确的,但它们都是必然的。
也许有天我们的亲吻会变得不再甜美,握紧的双手会渐渐松开,凝视对方的眼神会变得空洞。那也没关系,只是希望我们都不后悔。
雨下得大的时候,我们的脚都被打湿了。虽然很难受,但是和你一起在雨中漫步让我幸福得觉得这样一直走也没关系。
紫色是我心脏的颜色。因为你最喜欢紫色,我最喜欢你。其实我不是很确定什么是你最喜欢的颜色,所以我也不是很确定你会不会喜欢我。
彩虹下定决心不喜欢紫色,可是每次出现还是会带着紫色的微笑。我是彩虹,你是紫色。
在你还没遇到我之前,你一定不会想到你会那么喜欢一个人。不仅仅超过了你对你前女友们的爱的总和,还要再加上你对美食和猫咪的爱。最后就是你喜欢我超过你喜欢睡觉。
我们四目相对的时间加起来有多久呢?是一站地铁那么久,还是三首歌的时间,或者是一万年。我想一定会比很久要更久。
我见过倒着走的时钟,狮子亲吻小鹿,白天的烟火,卖耳机的聋人,突然流水的水龙头和真实的梦境。可惜没见过你因为我而努力的样子。
你说要请我吃烧烤,结果你是在骗我。那我只能对你说:其实Rachel去了法国,万事屋解散了,尹天仇中枪死去了,Lily和Marshall离婚了,楚门没有逃出那个世界,彼得忘记了温蒂。
我曾经会疑惑:我的真心到底会不会被好好珍惜。因为首先我不好意思问,其次问了也不一定得到真实的答案,再其次真实的答案就是不会。所以我决定将我的心留给自己,不会再给别人一次机会了。
你和我说你在北海划船,我没有在码头等你。我跑到了白塔上,这样你就不会消失在我的视线里了。没有跟着船走的原因我想大家都明白,因为那样真的太傻了。
如果你是时间,我就是2001太空漫游里的石板。如果你是水,我就是重庆森林里的香皂。如果你是音乐,我就是Once里的吸尘器。
爸妈说:除了我们你谁都不要相信。可是我其实只相信我自己。可是,有的时候会没有一个人相信我,那时候我真的不知道该怎么办。所以当所有人都不相信你的时候,你会怎么办呢?但这种问题一般人不用考虑。
地球是无数个过山车环,希望你和我一个车,而且坐在我旁边,一起感受心跳和吹过耳边的风。
我不会因为你而吃醋,因为嫉妒是得不到的开始。你也不用因为我而嫉妒别人,因为别人都没你好。
我嫉妒你的右手,因为它能随时牵起你的左手。
就算不能最快的相爱,我们还是会相爱的。
我是不会放弃的:就算我翻硬币一直得到背面,我会一直翻,一直翻,翻到得到正面的概率变从1/2变成0
最近的事总是让我很抓狂:发型和天气的不稳定,点的外卖半天没到,家里的植物奄奄一息,随机播放的歌每一首都想切,指甲剪得太短会隐隐作痛,打翻了最后一瓶酸奶……虽然你也帮不上什么忙,可是你在就好了。
我不喜欢轻而易举的爱情,为了困难地开始我们的关系,我建议我们第一次见面约在足浴中心。
好不容易见到你,我对你说:我睁眼闭眼的一瞬间,就算我见到你一次。所以看到我不停眨眼请你不要讶异,只是为了下次见面之前能多见你几次,每次我都好开心。
想你的时候,我会计算我们之间的距离,然后把单位换成光年,就觉得我们很近很近了。
我爱你的一切,就像我爱奥利奥一样,夹心和饼干我都爱。
你扇了我一耳光,因为把你的猫养死了,而且把你的笔记全部烧了。
我在想你的模样,想你说的话,想你看我的表情,好像我也只能想这么多了,你也没什么好想的。
我梦到你和你的女友一人手里拿这个气球,在秋日的午后,从我面前经过。
我会担心,担心我喜欢的人喜欢别人,担心我会生病,担心以后会离婚,担心根本不会结婚,担心突然就死了,担心我的英国签证下不来。好像就这些了,也不是很多嘛。
我爱人的方式有很多种,你们都以为我只会写打油诗,混乱的小文章,唱得断气的歌,画很丑的画……但实际上,我会把我喜欢的人作为电脑屏保,偶尔会给他烧柱香,每天检查他的朋友圈封面,个性签名。我很无聊吧,还有更无聊的:我会研读他每天的星座解析,把他的照片放在床头,把他的initial挂在脖子上,读他读的书,看他看的电影,听他听的音乐,听他前女友听的音乐……把他放在心最中间。
你知不知道其实我很喜欢你的朋友圈。我其实是每条都想赞的,只是你发的实在是太多了,所以我才一条都不赞,这个逻辑我希望你能接受。就像我太喜欢吃奥利奥所以我一口都不吃,因为吃了就停不下来,停不下来就会胖,胖了就会很难过一样,是同一个逻辑。懂?
我偷偷地爱着你。你就像我秘密发现的一颗糖。我在没有人的情况下就悄悄吃掉了,并小心翼翼地保管了那糖纸,不留任何痕迹。
如果我们不能改变结局,我们也许可以决定一切是怎么开始的:我们都买了同一件外套,喝着同一个牌子的咖啡,坐上连坐的飞机……这一切的选择都是我们开始的可能。你是我无数选择的结局。
给我一个停下来的理由。我在没找到最蓝的天空之前是不会放弃的。可是不相信眼睛的我,又怎么去找最蓝的颜色呢?不相信爱情的我,怎么去找最好的你呢?
有话就直说,在这里写小文章拐弯抹角的“你”啊“你”的,谁知道你说的你是谁。你就是我所有文章的对象,所有画的灵感,所有音乐的共情。谢谢你。我好爱你。
你的名字和我的名字一样长,但是比我的大,比我的更好听。你的名字可以作为重要领导的名字,我的就好像不太行。我们的名字还很互补,你叫林大树,我叫叶小草。
你的形状在我眼里就像月亮的形状,因为你的terminator line是那么美,那么的迷幻,那么让人捉摸不透,那么变化多端,总之是一种很酷的形状。
我希望你会打电话来,虽然这个可能性就像一条鱼想要裸奔一样奇怪,但是我愿意变成坏水,让所有的鱼都想裸奔。
我用一场梦的时间,忘记了你。在梦里你是鱼,我是吃鱼的人,我被你的刺伤的太深,这辈子再也不吃鱼。我清醒的时候本就是不吃鱼的,我以为这样我就不会受伤了,可是我万万没想到,有种东西叫得不到的爱情。
我主动亲我喜欢的男生,然后他开心地做了个后空翻,这样的反应多好。
没有人会知道我其实是喜欢黄恺翔的。就算有人知道,那也是我悄悄告诉的,要她们发誓不说出去的那种。不只是黄恺翔,我还喜欢绿恺翔,红恺翔,蓝恺翔等人,这个是真的没人知道。
我会疯狂的爱上一个给我所有偶然与巧合的人。如果世界上所有看上去不可能的可能都被我遇到了,这听上去就很疯狂诶。
只要我飞的无限高,我就能看的无限远。可是那样我会很寂寞吧:要是你和我一起无限高就好了。这样你就是视线里的唯一。
最好的事情竟然并不是所有的不劳而获的确幸,而是历经千辛万苦终于遇到你,然后再也不分开。最好也不会吵架,可是每个幸福的时刻不会因为没有痛苦的时刻而变的不珍贵。总之很幸福就是了,最幸福的那种。
旅行的意义对我来说是一种改变:改变看到的风景,改变吃的东西,酒店电视机里奇怪的电视节目,新的冰激凌的口味,等火车的时候在站台上发现的火鸡印章,发现这个公园里的阳光可以比那个公园的温暖,因为这一切都有你在我身边。你是这一切改变的原因。
红心被击中的那一刻,就是手机震动的那一秒我心脏的一阵剧痛,感觉自己要死了。死之前最后看到的是你的消息。然后我没有死,我才发现是自己的红心被你击中了。
做梦的时候,好像在森林里漫步,没有方向,没有目的。下一秒可能就有大熊出现,或者突然电闪雷鸣,或者是突然爱上森林里的野人,或者就很平安地走出森林。总之有很多种可能,所以我才说做梦像在森林里漫步。
我也会担心,我写的东西没有人看,画的画没有人爱。这就好像你不希望自己的孩子被别人觉得丑一样吧。也就好像莫言希望自己的书有人读,这样他就可以在北京买一套两百平米的房子一样。我和诺奖得主都有着同样的困扰呢。
好想知道有没有我在吸气的那一秒你也在吸气的可能。虽然和我呼吸完全同步的人几乎不可能存在,就算存在,可能也不是我的那个你,所以我只想我们有一秒的同步就够了。
如果你让我讲一个浪漫的故事,我会说:
今天我随机拨了个电话,告诉他我今天的心情是粉红色。然后他开始唱:是你让我的世界从那刻变成粉红色。
天空突然下起倾盆大雨,我当然是在想你。我在想:你会不会突然想见我,不带雨伞,一路狂奔,湿湿的头发挂在额头,出现在我家门口。你是我不切实际的期待。
最可惜的并不是失去,是根本没有的发生。没有搭上的火车,没有滑过的滑索,没有牵到的手……错过的一切,都好可惜。
整个世界太冷漠,世界上所有的沙子和蚂蚁的数量总和就是这个世界的冷漠值。不过我证明过:就算世界上有很多很多的冷漠,美丽的一切总是比冷漠要多一点。

整个世界太冷漠,世界上所有的沙子和蚂蚁的数量总和就是这个世界的冷漠值。不过我证明过:就算世界上有很多很多的冷漠,美丽的一切总是比冷漠要多一点。
是谁允许你散发出这该死的魅力,我的心全都送给你,好的坏的,统统给你。你不要以为这样就结束了,因为我可以把我的心再拿回来。
每当我想到一个只有我才知道的秘密,我就想尖叫。慢慢的我会忘记那个秘密,直到它再一次袭击我。最值得一提的并不是我的秘密,而是不再干净透明的我。我想我是我会,说出这个秘密,再次变得透明。
静止下来的的你,是否就能被狂奔着的我追上?你不能静止下来,就像我不能一直狂奔一样。我们之间的距离,像是闭着眼睛去抓一个不存在的玩具,也许很近,也许很远,但永远抓不到。
爱的幻觉是所有的幻觉,无法列举任何一种其他的幻觉。一切幻觉都是因为压抑的梦。我经常会有爱的幻觉,以为谁谁谁爱着我,可这只是我疲倦的心制造出的美好假象,为了不让我在夜里辗转反侧,偷偷流泪。
我每天都会期待你的点赞,可你就是不赞,我都已经疯了。我曾经发什么你都赞,终于你还是有审美疲劳的一天。你选择去赞隔壁的漂亮mm,留我一个人继续发着莫名其妙的朋友圈。
双脚腾空的那一刻,整个人都飘了起来,不属于地球,不属于月球,不属于一切。在数到三的时候,我重新属于你,属于你的怀抱。
短暂自由的爱恋是一阵漩涡,我们被卷啊,卷到无人的孤岛,最后绝望的又一次爱上了对方。告诉彼此我还爱你,还爱你,还爱你。除了我没有人还爱你。
