不久以后

AFTER A WHILE

不久以后

不久之后

After a while you learn the subtle difference

不久以后，你明白了执子之手与灵魂枷锁之间

between holding a hand and chaining a soul

微妙的差别

and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning

你明白了爱并不意味倚靠

and company doesn’t always mean security.

有了陪伴也不等于得到安全

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts

your defeats

all your roads on today

铺设所有的道路

because tomorrow’s ground

is too uncertain for plans

有太多的无法预料

and futures have a way

未来总是会在午夜

of falling down in mid-flight.

that even sunshine burns

阳光亦可以带来灼伤

if you get too much

so you plant your own garden

to bring you flowers.

每刻都在修行
