I love you and say nothing
I just look at you and smile across from you
I love you as long as I am mentally aware
< p> You don’t need to know what you are thinkingI cherish my secrets
I also cherish a touch of sadness
The sadness that has not turned into pain
I swear, I love to give up on you
Without any hope
But it is not without happiness
As long as I can miss you, I am happy enough
Even if I no longer see you smiling across from me.
——Excerpted from "In the Name of the People"
When this affectionate and helpless poem was read from Zhao Dongxiang's mouth, I felt helpless in my heart, because Zhao is a big-hearted person. It's hard for me to connect him with such tender words. My first feeling at the time was: Men can be quite scary when they are tender, and Lu Yike is about to fall.
However, the rough sound and appearance have not affected my love for this poem. The beginning of the poem is "I love you, I didn't say anything, I just watched you smiling across from me." A picture naturally forms in people's minds, incarnating themselves as the author, quietly looking at the people chatting and laughing with their best friends at the door of the coffee shop opposite. The beautiful girl has a faint but contented smile on her face, the picture is so beautiful. "I love you. As long as I feel in my heart, I don't need to know what you are thinking." This is a helpless unrequited love. Since "I" can't ignore my inner feelings, I also know that I can't control "your" inner thoughts. In this case , why bother pursuing the answers you long for but can’t get? "I cherish my secrets, and I also cherish a touch of sadness." Unrequited love is a person's thing, and it is a very lucky thing if she happens to love you too. But, if she doesn't love you, then keep this secret in your heart. If sadness is inevitable, keep it together and don't let it develop into pain.
"I love giving up on you" is a difficult thing. Because humans are emotional animals, it is impossible not to expect a response while giving, especially in emotional matters. Therefore, although it is difficult, the best choice is to give up in love, leave a beautiful memory for each other, and treasure it in the best time. Perhaps, as time goes by, this beautiful period will disappear. Occasionally, there is still a slight sweetness when I think of it. This is the best ending for both of us. "As long as I can miss you, I am happy enough, even if I no longer see you smiling across from me." This is exactly the truth.
When dealing with feelings, it is often difficult for us to maintain the rationality we should have as described in this poem. This is understandable, after all, emotion is a concept opposite to reason. However, this does not mean that we do not need reason to restrain our instincts. When faced with a relationship that we don't get or that is gradually fading away, we should not choose to hurt each other and end up in a situation where "it's hard for me, and you can't even think about happiness."
I think it should be, since we can no longer continue, why not choose not to disturb each other and stay well?
