坐公車回家時隔壁位置上的男生放的MP3聲音很響，KT Tunstall那首Other side of the world隔著他的耳機仍是清楚地傳來，我跟著旋律在心裡輕聲地哼唱起來，想像著樂手撥彈著吉他，想像如何把這首歌詮釋得很狂野，也想像著自己像MV中的主角穿著夾克手插在口袋裡在城市中大步遊走的樣子，我想把思緒拉到離歌詞很遠的地方。 回到家打開電腦，一邊喝水一邊快速瀏覽朋友們的blog，要命，我反射動作般地關了網頁，那一大口水如鯁在喉，怎麼背景音樂又是這首歌？

我喜歡這首歌，只是我，沒辦法聽下去，尤其在這個八月。很奇怪，不知道為什麼痛不會隨著愛的流逝而流逝，好像也不會因為不承認就不存在，也沒有因為把過去那些大大小小的事件全都拋諸腦後就失去痛覺。更奇怪的是，在那個當下我並沒有感覺，痛卻隨著時間緩緩加劇，不是說時間是良藥嗎？我真的一點都不明白。不過，至少時至今日，我終於肯承認我死不承認，對，其實還是會痛的，這畢竟不是幻覺。可是，不要輕易撕開封印，不要開啟我存封完好的傷心。

你不是現在才要走，對我而言，你已經離開很久了。只是，能不能隨著你的離開，把痛也遠遠地拋往世界的另一頭？

Other Side Of The World

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

The fire fades away

Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

The fire fades away
