秋之湖

Lake Of Autumn 

I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in ¹⁾measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been ²⁾longing to leave me, not daring¹ to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely^{2 3)}conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”

The rain was killing³ the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.

我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候 。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地
。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶 ，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过 。哦
，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，只是不敢告诉我罢了
。在那美丽的夜晚 ，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。

雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日
，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱 。我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事
。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人 。而我依然凝望着湖水 ，恍惚中
，生命正离我而去
。
