「能不能幫我簽個名?」一個可愛的女同學問我。
我給出去的第一個,也就只有這一個簽名,完全是一場誤會。
****
那一天,雄女校慶,我當然也去看熱鬧。不過,因為當天我還有打鼓課,因此我到的時間比較晚了一些。課後直接過去,兩根鼓棒,還因為太長,我的背包只藏了它們一半的身子。
我跟著朋友聊天,女同學過來了,跟我要簽名。朋友說,她應該是把我當作是之前不久,才在台上表演的鼓手。
那年高三,打鼓的課繼續,考試的準備繼續。簽名的事,像是郵差看錯了門牌,將信丟給了住在鄰居,我一直心儀的女孩一樣。女生拿了信,過門來,開口說話的瞬間,讓人心跳加速了幾秒一樣。然後,生活裡固定的節奏,繼續。
****
世界並沒有那麼理想,可愛的女同學拿了簽名,就走了。誤會從面前走過,揮揮手,不帶走一片雲彩。
白雲蒼狗。不過,不變的是,若是聽到鼓聲,我仿佛還是可以聽到我的心跳應合著節奏,不變的是,生活裡還是有一堆的誤會。
****
真的,也沒有多想手上急著要交的研究計劃與論文摘要怎麼辦,其實我也不擔心,就是離開一下電腦,我也可以繼續想要寫什麼,更何況,不寫又怎樣,現在我覺得有更重要的事要去做。拉出了電腦鎖,套過桌腳,我就跟著隊伍走了,或者精確一些說,跟在隊伍旁邊,完全不是因為怕被誤會什麼,就只是因為我所喜歡的,不是人群,任何的人群,而是鼓聲。
鼓聲,用節奏將我的腳步與人群們串在一起。陽光下,我繞著城大街走了一段。

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle’s my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On butler street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we’d break their hearts
Togheter - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin’ on - we got to try
Holdin’ on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn’t need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I’d never let you go
Togheter - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin’ on - we got to try
Holdin’ on to never say goodbye
I guess you’d say we used to talk
About busting out
We’d break their hearts
Togheter - forever
