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.

短文

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。

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。

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。
