過去簡單式

人  是我大學時 愛過的一個女孩

with some superficial facts and a few interactions over a semester,

因為一些膚淺因素和偶爾的互動

you know, like most guys fantasizing over a girl they barely know,

就像小夥子暗戀一個不太熟的女孩那樣

I filled in the blanks like a fairy tale author.

我像童話作者般 自己幻想了一些情節

And who she became in my head, was probably more than the reality.

她在我腦中的形象 可能與現實大相逕庭

Yeah, and I was an infatuated freshman, sure, but...

當時只是小大一的我 深深為她著迷

the several times we got to spend together outside of class,

it really allowed me to see she also had a good heart and a bright spirit.

我發現 她其實人很好 活潑熱情

The only problem was, so did just about every other guy.

問題是 其他男生也是這樣看她的

I swear there were times when it seemed like the cliche sorority girl

我發誓 有幾次 這位萬人迷公主

may have felt something for the typical, awkward freshman.

似乎對我這愚蠢的小大一有點感覺

but she was much more than just a friend.

We met early in college, kept in touch through the years after.

我們大學就認識了 保持聯繫了幾年

I saw her different boyfriends come and go.

Personality, humor, taste, it was all there.

個性幽默 有品味 她完全是我的菜

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was our timing.

What we loved about each other was never enough to leave who we were with.

This is something we eventually had to face and accept,

最後 我們只得正視這問題 並且接受

When I loved was my first girlfriend in high school.

時  是我第一個女友 高中時交的

she embodies the combination of both love and youth.

The feeling of young love is unique and impossible to replace or replicate

青澀的戀情 既獨特 又無可取代

High school was a time of innocence, discovery, and adventure.

高中時代有三要素 純真 探索 冒險

We shared these three elements together in things like our first kiss,

我們共享了許多初體驗 像是初吻

preserved in a time neither of us can touch, but know was there.

there’s not a doubt in my mind that when we were there,

Where I loved was the girl I met in Los Angeles.

I never intended to stay there that long.

It was just a six month internship after graduating.

畢業後 原本只要在那實習六個月

Soon, a year had passed, and somehow, another year after that.

or prove something to everyone back at home,

but she helped me accomplish it over there

with a relationship reflective of the city we were in,

that really pushed me to mature more than anyone or anywhere else.

When people ask what city I love the most,

Why I loved was a close friend of mine who passed away.

death was not what saddened her the most,

but the fact that she never really felt like she had fallen in love.

She wouldn’t get to have those emotions, good and bad,

她沒有體驗過那些感情 好的 壞的

After she passed, those words stuck with me the most,

teaching me to see that one of the great gifts we have of being alive is

她使我知道 我們活著 最珍貴的禮物是

the ability to give and receive and even lose love.

whose lives end before having any of those experiences.

What a waste if we don’t strive to love in our lives.

是多麼的可惜 活著 而不努力去愛

You are who I love; the girl on the pedestal,

the fantasy, the make-believe things that are actually true.

the depth, the inside jokes, the best friend.

有深度 又幽默 是愛人 也是最好的朋友

和妳在一起後 人生開啟新的一頁

We are the young lovers our older selves will someday reminisce about.

等我們都老了 會懷念這段年輕的愛
