声音记忆

　　检查结果发现，并不是感冒。

　　脑肿瘤，第四期。

　　这是医生告诉我的诊断结果。我最多只能活半年，但是没人能够保证一个星期后，我还能够活在世上。虽然医生提议我可以接受放射线治疗、抗癌剂治疗、进安宁病房等各种选择，但是我完全听不进去。

　　小时候，我曾经在暑假期间去游泳池。普通一声，跳进凉冰冰的蓝色游泳池。嘴里吐着泡泡，身体沉入水中。

　　“要先热身啊。”

　　我听到老妈说话的声音，但是，在水中听到的声音很模糊，听不清楚。如今，遗忘已久的“声音记忆”突然在耳边苏醒。

很寂寞

有心事的人很寂寞，
因为他把自己封锁起来。

关心他的人也很寂寞，因为他无能为力，
只能痛心的在外面默默等待那人回来。

就像调味料一样

和那人的回忆就像调味料一样，
身边和他有关的事物
都因此顿时添加了新意义。

以前没留意过的，
现在每天都不自觉地留意到；
以前觉得平淡无奇的，
现在变得别具意义；
以前喜欢的，现在因为那人而变得更喜欢。

但是味道会随着关系和思念
变得时甜时酸、时苦时涩，
也因为这人的出现，
改变了原本添加的味道。
