二零零七年八月的最後一夜,我終於可與三位姊妹好友相聚;「終於」,是因為在這以前的上一回見面,在三月上旬。再之前呢?上年十、十一月吧。說穿了,其實在我的日常生活行程中並沒有「與朋友見面」這一環節,亦因此每次的難得會面時刻都教我留下深刻印象。
夜,暗黑的閣樓咖啡室混合了薄荷茶香和菸的味道,四張椅子,坐上了四位各有感懷的現代男女,牆上一張張的明信片,喚來我對未來旅程嚮往。談笑中,身旁的珍妮小姐提及一首感人得讓她流淚的歌曲:《Forever Friends》。大概,令她流淚的是「朋友」間的曖昧之永恆,是美之永恆,也是唏噓的永恆......
回家讀過歌詞。淚,也在心裏流。
現代愛情,猶如不同層次、不同質感的苦澀:狂莽的苦、溫柔的苦、激昂的苦、沉寂的苦。有人拼命追求,也有人靜靜守候;得到得不到,閉上眼睛,心窗傳來的還是陣陣傷痛.......我不知道珍妮小姐在歌曲裏感受了甚麼;我呢,近年深信愛情的開端本就預視著結束的來臨,不能承受未來之痛如我者,還是不要把愛情說得那麼清楚好了。
情人關係一瞬即逝,只有「朋友」才能成為永遠;在永恆曖昧中偷嚐的甜蜜,比先是怨恨然後厭倦的短暫愛情更是美麗...... 聽起來是多麼的悲哀,「朋友」關係那得不到的自虐性也很是病態!然而,美麗當前,有誰能捨?
說到這裏,才驚覺自己毫無章法地胡言亂語;唱片機播放著葡萄牙Fado歌者Misia 的音樂,聲音依然哀怨......
我瘋了。

Forever Friends

Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we’ll never end
Searching for the colors of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I’ll be near you
Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we’ll never end
Searching for the colors of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I’ll be near you
Some people handle love and never try
I can almost fly with your wings to set me higher
Some day we’ll see the world
and through the grey have faith in our hands
Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we’ll never end
Searching for the colors of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
we’ll always be forever friends
Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we’ll never end
Searching for the colors of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I’ll believe you
When the river flows
Off to part us both
Only HEAVEN knows
I’ll be a boat to sail arround you
Melody never say good-bye
I’ll be near you
Some people handle love and never try
I can almost fly with your wings to set me higher
One day we’ll see the world
and through the grey have faith in our hands
till the river ends……
