在以前,笔友是令人感到温馨的人。两人之间互相写信,装入粘上邮票的信封,再交由邮差不远千里的送到对方的手里。几十上百的信件,无数日月的聊着生活和感情,而两人却可能从来不曾谋面,也不会相见。然而彼此虽相距遥远,内心却很靠近。
如今,笔友已是稀有物种,或许已濒临绝种,甚至已将灭绝?
再无鸿雁传思念,唯有旧信忆当时…
Long Lost Penpal

Hello, Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don’t really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you’re still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello, Yes I remember you
I’ve got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
And I hope you don’t resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
