Even If Only for Five Seconds
Leanne Li / Hua Li
I can’t quite explain what this feeling is—
Only that the moment you appeared,
The world suddenly bloomed with roses:
In the mountains, along the rivers,
Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Mya’s Walk,
Across the vast lands of the South and North,
Even where the sun rises.
As if time itself remembered
It had once bowed before someone—
One whose steps were light,
Yet carried the weight of the skies.
Even if only for five seconds,
To bathe in your smile—
Would be enough for waves to ripple
Across the lake of my heart, stirring a sky full of stars.
You traverse half the globe,
Whispering gently like a saxophone playing Going Home.
All I want is to spend my whole youth listening.
You don’t need praise, nor requests,
Yet you illuminate the dreams I never voiced.
You—like thunder behind the clouds—resound,
Strong yet tender,
Like the one in my dreams gathering starlight.
Your whisper, like an old phonograph,
While I nap in a BMW
With sunbeams outside the window,
Reflected warmth from your own.
I care, I care about you,
I care about the fire in your eyes
When you see me—
Eyes full of unspoken longing and hope.
If I could strip away every flaw,
And leave only brilliance,
It wouldn’t be for perfection,
But just so I might become the scenery
You’d never miss as you pass by.
Maybe I’m too soft, but even softness can uphold the universe.
A gentle voice can still summon light.
Even if only for five seconds, I’d stand beside you,
Even if just silently,
Outside the moon you soar across,
In the wind stirred by your cape,
In the air your arms brush as they reach for the clouds.
You are the stillness before the starlight at dusk,
The sigh that won’t wake me from my dreams,
The reason I still look up at the sky.
Even if only for five seconds, you’re still here,
Then I can still believe—
That all the tenderness left unspoken,
Like your pink tie, white shirt,
And that cobalt-blue suit I loved,
Will return in some other form.
Like that night at Myra’s Walk,
Your regal presence
Lit up the towering buildings of Canary Wharf.
Ah—
Even if only for five seconds,
I want to see your return.
哪怕只有五秒鐘

我說(shuō)不清這是什么感覺(jué)——
只是你出現(xiàn)的那一刻，
世界仿佛突然開滿了玫瑰：
在群山之間，在江河之畔，
格林威治、金絲雀碼頭、瑪雅小徑，
在遼闊的南北大地，
甚至在日出的地方。
仿佛時(shí)間也記起了
它曾為某人低頭——
那人步履輕盈，卻肩負(fù)蒼穹。
哪怕只有五秒鐘，
沐浴在你的微笑里——
也足以在我心湖泛起漣漪，
撼動(dòng)滿天星光。
你跨越半個(gè)地球而來(lái)，
輕輕低語(yǔ)，仿佛薩克斯風(fēng)吹奏著《Going Home》。
我愿用整個(gè)青春來(lái)聆聽。
你無(wú)需贊譽(yù)，也無(wú)需祈求，
卻照亮了我未曾言說(shuō)的夢(mèng)想。
你——如云后雷聲般回響，
強(qiáng)大卻溫柔，
像我夢(mèng)中那位，采擷星光的你。
你的低語(yǔ)，如古老留聲機(jī)的旋律，
我在寶馬車中午睡，窗外陽(yáng)光灑落，
那是你給予我的溫暖。
我在乎，我在乎你，
在乎你看見(jiàn)我時(shí)眼中的光——
那無(wú)聲的幸福與期冀。
若我能剝?nèi)ニ需Υ茫?/p>
只留下光芒，
那并非為了完美，
而是愿成為你路過(guò)時(shí)永不忽略的風(fēng)景。
也許我太柔軟，但柔軟亦能撐起宇宙，
溫柔的聲音也能召喚光明。
哪怕只有五秒鐘，我愿站在你身旁，
哪怕只是沉默著，
站在你飛越的月亮之外，
在你披風(fēng)掀起的風(fēng)里，
在你伸手觸云時(shí)拂過(guò)的空氣中。
你是暮光下星光前的所有玫瑰，
是那不會(huì)將我從夢(mèng)中喚醒的嘆息，
是我仍仰望天空的理由。
哪怕只有五秒鐘你在這里，
我仍愿相信——
那些未曾說(shuō)出口的溫柔，
像你那領(lǐng)帶的純粉、襯衫的潔白，
還有我深愛(ài)的那套鈷藍(lán)西裝，
終將在某種形式中歸來(lái)。
正如那夜在瑪雅小徑，
你王者的身影，
照亮了金絲雀碼頭的高樓。
啊——
哪怕只有五秒鐘，
我也想看你瀟灑凱旋而來(lái)。
換一換
