阳光
你比我早起
在我窗外好奇地张望
你悄悄攀进来
爬上我的床,静静躺在
我身边
你的手指拂过我的身躯
如拂过
一排破旧的琴键
你的耳语
你的体温
你的甜蜜
令我哀伤

The Sun
You wake up earlier than me
glancing around curiously outside my window
stealthily you climb
onto my bed lying beside me quietly
Your fingers run through my body
as if running through
a row of broken piano keys
Your whisper
your warmth
your sweetness
sadden me
