本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛彦发来的新短信说起最近在V城办公室出差，得知一个同事突患重病的事。风华正茂，英俊幽默的中年男子，工作出色，热爱家庭，看上去身体不错。突然就被刚确疹的胰腺癌宣判了死刑。他所有未竟的梦想，心愿，爱恋和牵挂，都即将灰飞烟灭。面对这样的命运，任谁也无可奈何，唯有束手待毙。

我们总是看到这些世事无常，命运弄人的悲剧，不是吗？生命脆弱的真相。可我们不相信，厄运会降临在我们自己身上。我们总以为自己是安全的大多数，不走运的只会是别人。真的吗，其实？
我一直以为自己是上帝的弃子，但听多了这些，我感到自己幸运。庆幸自己有选择的能力，遵从自己的心选择我要的生活，选择爱你，MM。
Mark Twain said, sanity and happiness are an impossible combination. If I must choose between the two, I choose happiness. So when my fate is doomed, I am prepared to die at any time.

读罢，我想了很久。终于第一次给彦回信。

Thank you, Yan. But sorry, I cannot be your love, ‘cause I cannot love you. All I can do is be your friend. I, too, have made my choice. It may not be 100% happily sane, since that is impossible anyway, I am following my heart, like you do. I wish you joy and happiness, and above all, find the love of your life.

发出之后，我把手机丢进厨柜的抽屉，开始了茶屋新的一天。

傍晚工作结束，我拿出手机，彦的短信很简单: All I want to say is in this song. Live fully and be happy, MM. yours happily insane, Yan.

Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am home again.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am whole again.

Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am young again.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am fun again.

However far away,
I will always love you.
However long I stay,
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you;
I will always love you.

Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am free again.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am clean again.

However far away,
I will always love you.
However long I stay,
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you;
I will always love you.
