《字花》
*Scroll down for English version
我喜歡文字，因為我覺得文字可以表達自己，可以感染他人。然後有一天，我發現文字只可以表達我想你看到的我，感染那些我並不真正想感染的人。
一個台灣朋友跟我說，她在旅途中跟一個巴西少年相戀了。我問，你懂葡文嗎？她說，不。我問，他懂英文嗎？她說，一點點。
她給我看了她們的對話。對於我，那些可能稱不上對話的對話，在她眼中卻是最純粹的愛情。語言不通，卻令兩個人用最真摯的心說出我愛你。沒有任何矯揉造作、花言巧語。愛就是愛，不愛就是不愛。原來我們忘了，想念一個人，就只需要跟他說我想你。
我問，你有想過跟他的將來嗎？她說，曾經我有嘗試跟他討論這個話題，但後來放棄了，因為他根本不知道我在說什麼。我問，那你怎麼知道你愛他？她說，我們永遠不知道自己愛的是誰，我們知道的就只有這一刻我們是否快樂，有時我什至覺得快樂比愛重要。
看著他們牛頭不對馬嘴的對話，我不明白他們之間是否真正存在一種愛，但從她眼中我的而且確看到了快樂。沒有語言的愛，或者只是霎眼火花，但又有誰真正在意。 Live life, live the moment.
《love is the language》
I love to write. Through those words, I tried to express myself and tell you what I am thinking. However, I just realised that wordings can only express the side I want you to know about me, and influence those people that I don't really care.
A Taiwanese girl told me, she fell in love with a Brazilian. I asked, you speak Portuguese? No. /He speaks English? /A little.
She then show me their whatsapp conversation. Actually I can hardly read those "conversation" since they are using very few vocabularies with a lot of grammatical mistakes. However, that's the best part for them. The simplest words are always those which get deep into your heart. "I love you"" I miss you" what can we ask for more?
I asked, did you ever think of your future with him? / yes, I tried to talk to him once, but he don't understand English, so I give up. All we can say to each other is how much we love, how much we eat, how much we enjoy being together. / How you know you love him?/ We never know if we really love someone, it's too complicated. The only thing we know is ,we are happy now. We are both enjoying the moment. Sometimes I even think that being happy is more important then finding out if we really love each other.
I am not sure is it possible to have love between two people that don't share a common language, but one thing I am sure is that I see happiness and satisfaction in her eyes. We never know what is going to happen next, but who cares? Live life, live the moment.
