+++++
想不到阔别十八年后，我竟然还会见到妳，虽然陪在妳身边的是另一个他而不是我。
我不怨妳、毕竟在十八年前当我选择离开妳，我就告诉自己我不能再让我们之间有任何的牵连。感情最忌藕断丝连，我别无选择因为我明白凡事断要断得清楚、感情之事更是应该如此。
当时走到那个阶段，我除了狠下心离开妳，别无选择。。。虽然我知道当时的妳一定被我那绝情的决定伤害极深极深。
认识妳时，妳才十六岁。当时我总爱对妳说，“我是老牛吃嫩草” 毕竟我大妳足足七岁。当时的妳只是一名中四生而我已经在社会工作了。犹记得妳有一头飘逸的秀发、如水的双眸、温顺的性格、一切是那么的完美。
刚开始是因为我总是聆听妳对我所诉苦、妳从小就没了父亲，母亲就只疼弟弟。我知晓妳面对一切的不公平、我也总耐心的听妳诉说着学校里老师的偏心（只因为妳买不起昂贵的教师节礼物）
不知从几时开始，我们的电话交谈次数从一个星期一次到一个晚上一次。当我发现我渴望在每个夜晚与妳交谈，我试着压抑自己的感情意志，我甚至强迫自己晚上不要这么早回家，那就不用与妳通电话。（二十年前还没有手机，除了家里的电话就只有公共电话。）
但，说易行难，我终归敌不过自己的心，我越陷越深、我无法自拔、我情不自禁地、我疯狂地爱上了妳。
我只为妳一个人录歌；只和妳谈电话至深夜；只和妳在东海岸的木桌上刻上“A爱A”；我们总躲在妳家的八楼半的楼梯处拥吻；一同去图书馆；一同爬上花芭山；我最喜欢妳把我的眼镜从我脸上除下，然后很细心地用一张面巾把眼镜的镜片擦得干干净净。
很不经意的，那夜播放了一张CD，听到陈百强的“当我想起妳 - extended version”，深深被那女声的旁白感动了，久久不能自己。。。
我常常在想。。。想妳可有想起我？那些录给妳的cassettes 还收藏着、可有重听？那个Musical Box 还在吗？那些叮叮噹噹的音乐在雨夜里是否分外响亮？
这些年来，卡拉OK普遍的流行起来，我当然也去过数次，虽然也和许多人合唱过，却始终不及我和妳在chalet 的深夜合唱过，那首林珊珊的 “恋爱预告” 就让我们两唱得极开心。
当时的我已有一女友，妳知道的，因为我打从开始便没有想要隐瞒妳。我认识她在认识妳之前，而我是一个道德观念极深的人。我告诉过妳我已经与她有了肌肤之亲，怪只怪我自己一心以为她就是我确认的终身伴侣。。。直到我遇见妳。
我不能负她，却不想失去妳。如果可以取舍，那还好一些。只是，世上有着太多不能够取舍的事，也有着太多太多无法十全十美的事。
虽然妳说妳不介意当我那不为人知的地下情人，虽然妳说就算我们一年只能见两三次面也无所谓，只要我是真的爱妳，真的对妳好。
我当时就拒绝了妳，完完全全、彻彻底底、毫不犹豫、毫无保留的拒绝妳。我看到妳那惊讶的神情，紧接着眼眶里的眼泪开始流下来，我当时对于我那绝情的心感到无比内疚，也憎恨我自己，但我知晓我不能接受妳的情感。
我真的不想伤害妳、却伤妳最深！我真的很想与妳长久相依相偎、却落到如今这个结局！
有些错事真的不能犯，一次也不行。因为有些错是一旦做了，是永远永远都无法弥补、无法补偿的，永远不能。
当年与现在，相差实在太多，改变也不少。只是为什么我的心里却始终无法释怀？什么是曾经？所谓曾经是否就已成过去，永远无法重来？
其实，人生有着太多 “不能自己” 的事情，而局中人却只能眼睁睁看着它发生。很多时候，自己已知道结局会如何，但，依然不能自拔地一头栽了下去，以至弄到伤痕累累。。。
我时常有这么一个悲观想法（Tragic Anticipation），总是无法放怀去享受一切，而喜欢去压抑自己的情感。
即不能预支明天的快乐
又为何偏偏要兑现那将来的苦楚
我想一切尽在不言中吧。明知道这是一条两人都会伤心的路，却还是无法control自己而继续下去。不知道 “Out of Sight” 是否就是 “Out of Mind”？
我还有很多话想对妳说，但是又如何？
我只能在心底祝妳快乐、永远。
写于2008年10月中
重见妳于乌节路商场，原来我始终没忘了妳、我始终还惦记着妳、爱着妳、念着妳、想着妳。。。

A Conversation With Uncle A Part (2)
...continue from part 1...
Me: Uncle A, since you and her love each other so much, did you and her...
Uncle A: No, we did not have sex if that's what in your mind but we did kiss and pet each other
Me: She didn't want to give in to you?
Uncle A: No, I guess if I insisted to have sex with her, she would have given in to me but I didn't want to go all the way too.
Me: I salute you Uncle A cos I guess not many guys will stop when you have stopped especially if she is a beautiful young girl.
Uncle A: She is beautiful but guess I already knew the outcome between us thus I didn't want to take her virginity away and hurt her more.
Me: Hmmm...
Uncle A: I know I had already done wrong by kissing her and petting her.
Me: Then what happen?
Uncle A: Finally, she started to demand more of my time and gradually I felt very miserable stuck between 2 lovers.
Me: Why miserable?
Uncle A: Every Valentine's day, every birthday of mine and then every weekend, I have to schedule myself between them and lied to them. I love both of them but I can only have 1 as my wife.
Me: So you chose aunt?
Uncle A: I had no choice and I knew that I had to make a decision fast before the issue blows up.
Me: No way of having 2 at 1 time?
Uncle A: No eyes, I am surprised you made such statement. No way I could do that. I can only be with 1 and even though Adeline did say that she wouldn't mind being the girl behind the scene so long as I truly love her but how could I be so selfish. Yeah, it's damn good to have 2 girls falling for you but I just have to be fair.
Me: ...
Uncle A: I had no choice but to let her go.
Me: Wouldn't she come back to you after you made it clear for her?
Uncle A: If you really want to stop a relationship, you can do it. I stopped calling her, stopped seeing her and slowly, days after days, months after months, years after years, we lost contacts.
Me: And that's it?
Uncle A: Yes, we stopped contacting each other since then and we did not have handphone then so contacting is more difficult. No computer for MSN and email too.
Me: So what happened after so many years?
Uncle A: I still think of her at times but I already have your aunt. At times, I told myself I need to know how she is now? After 18 years, she is now 36 years old and probably married with kids.
Me: Do you regret with your decision?
Uncle A: I felt very lost then, I don't know what to do and I was like your age, only 23 years old. No one to turn too except myself. I told myself I have to let her go, loving someone is not bringing sadness and misery to her. I was hurt totally when I insisted a break-off yet I could not let her see that I was hurt.
Me: But do you feel regretful?
Uncle A: In my heart I told myself to just let her go and never look back but yes I regretted in letting her go but what was done cannot be undone. To me, that was the best solution for me and definitely for her.
Me: Then what happened recently?
Uncle A: I saw her again that day, totally unexpected.
Me: You sure it's her? I mean Uncle A, 18 years leh...
Uncle A: Yes, I am positively sure it's her. Her features do not changed though age does make her look more mature. Her long straight hair is now curly and she still looks beautiful to me.
Me: Did you say hello to her?
Uncle A: No, she was with a man when I saw her.
Me: Did she see you?
Uncle A: No, I don't think so. She was in fact arguing with that guy she was with. Anyway, so what if she saw me? Our situation has not changed as per 18 years ago and why should I disrupt her life now? I guess she may have even forgotten all about me.
Me: What if, I mean really what if, she is single and she wants to come back to you, what will you do?
Uncle A: I guess unless this is true, I do not want to even consider it. Not forgetting that I am already a married middle-age man.
Me: So what if you are a married middle-age man? look at my dad....
Uncle A: Your dad is an exception.
Me: Tell me, Uncle A, if she really comes back to you, what will you do?
Uncle A: .... (In deep thoughts)
Me: Tell me, Uncle A, if she really comes back to you, what will you do?
Uncle A: I guess, if she really comes back to me now, I will not let her go anymore cos I really missed her. I need to make-up to her for what I have done to her BUT this is just wiseful thinking...
===
with tat we finished our conversation. 18 years later then uncle A saw Adeline again, guess everything is fated.
wl try to post his chinese letter but the letter is so bloody long
Me: Uncle A, since you and her love each other so much, did you and her...

A Conversation With Uncle A Part (1)
Me: Uncle A, how do you know your previous gal?
Uncle A: I knew her when I was giving her brother tuition
Me: How old were you and her then?
Uncle A: I was merely 23 and she was 16.
Me: What's her name? (I din think he wl tell me but surprise)
Uncle A: Adeline
Me: You mentioned that you already went steady with aunt so how did the whole thing happened?
Uncle A: I was still young at 23, just like you. I think when I realised that I have fallen for her, it was a little too late for me to stop my feelings for her.
Me: Eh... uncle A, pardon me for saying but why didn't you choose Adeline instead.
Uncle A: No eyes, I have done wrong with your aunt so how can I choose someone else and leave her?
Me: You mean you have...?
Uncle A: Yes, we had sex before marriage then I met Adeline
Me: So what? Having sex before marriage then cannot change meh?
Uncle A: No eyes, I know you personal life but I was brought up differently and to me, Man has his responsibility
Me: But... but...
Uncle A: No buts, I take responsibility in whatever I did and mind you, 18 years ago, sex before marriage was already a big issue.
Me: I mean which guy doesn't flirt around?
Uncle A: I have never been to a prostitute, neither have I had sex with another girl except your aunt, before or after we are married.
Me: Eh... no chance, is it?
Uncle A: Not no chance, just that I don't want.
Me: So what happened after you realised you actually fell for Adeline?
Uncle A: At that time, your aunt was in the U and she hardly had time for me. I know this is a lousy excuse but it's true because of the lack of time with her, gave me more time and chance with Adeline.
Me: Then?
Uncle A: Adeline and I went out quite a few times.
Me: Where to?
Uncle A: 18 years ago, we do not have karaoke, computer was not common, we do not have handphone and pagers were not common.
Me: So since Adeline was still schooling, I guess it's not easy for both of you to communicate.
Uncle A: Yeah, everytime I went to give her brother tuition, I would leave a letter in her drawer and she usually called me at home with just one single ring and quickly put the phone down to hint me to call her at night.
Me: At night?
Uncle A: Yes, cos her mother worked permenant night shift.
Me: Hmmm, secret code?
Uncle A: I used to copy cassettes with my favourite love songs for her. CD wasn't common then. We went to the library, east coast park etc.
Me: Uncle A, since you and her love each other so much did you and her...
Uncle A: ...
