消失的笔友

不南邦/攝

在以前，笔友是令人感到温馨的人。两人之间互相写信，装入粘上邮票的信封，再交由邮差不远千里的送到对方的手里。几十上百的信件，无数日月的聊着生活和感情，而两人却可能从来不曾谋面，也不会相见。然而彼此虽相距遥远，内心却很靠近。

如今，笔友已是稀有物种，或许已濒临绝种，甚至已将灭绝？

再无鸿雁传思念，唯有旧信忆当时…

Long Lost Penpal

作词 : Annika Norlin
作曲 : Annika Norlin

Hello, Do you remember me

I am your long lost pen pal

It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don’t really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you’re still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello, Yes I remember you

I’ve got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant and make fairly good money

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

when my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend

Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children

And I hope you don’t resent me

And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend
