I spotted you right away.

我當下就看見了妳。

Ankle swingers, wooly scarf, headphones, book bag, bracelets, big eyes. and little nose.

露腳踝的褲款、羊毛圍巾、耳機、書包、手鐲、大眼睛和小鼻子。

So Independent. So original. So unknown.

如此的特立獨行。如此的渾然天成。如此的未知。

Feet up at the front of the bus.

在公車的前座平放雙腿。

I catch your eyes in the reflection of the glass,

我從玻璃的倒影中對到了妳的雙眼，

but were they aimed at me?

但那雙眼有在看著我嗎？

Why do I do this?

我為何要這樣做？

I know I'll never see you again, so what's the fear?

我知道我不會再見到你，所以有什麼好怕的呢？

Why can't I just ask your name?

為何我不能就直接問妳的名字？

Why is that so weird?

為何那樣會很奇怪呢？

Why can't I just this once embrace the doubt and break the curse and take the risk.

為何我不能就這一次擁抱遲疑並破除詛咒，然後冒這個險。

I might just make my life better with no risk of making it worse.

我也許就這麼把我的人生變得更好，不會有讓它變糟的風險。

Why do I do this? To be lost and not found.

我為何要這樣做？迷失且無所獲。

I write about people, just to keep them around.

我描寫人們，只為了把他們留在身邊。

I should title this poem after you too.

我也該將這首詩以妳為題，

And hope that it leads to seeing you again.

並希望這樣會讓我再見到妳。

But this piece is untitled, because I never asked your name.

但這篇作品沒有標題，因為我從未過問妳的名字。
