爱

那是迟暮时分，日浮天际。 秋气秋晖温醇如洗，田野和层林显发微光。我调档减速。车驶入憩区。泊车熄火。我急向洗手间走去。里面转出一人。 我们抬头相视。我见他脸庞，眼睛。他也如是。霎那间，我们心灵如晤。我们脚步各未停留，交错而过。他脸庞英俊，令人陶醉。眼如绿湖，温柔明亮，却不似典型印度人。我如是思维，心却已空，如饮醐醍。走出洗手间，我重新上路，赶往辛辛那提。在我心底，却愿调转车头，去追寻他。因为我猜测他是留学生，而印大就在近处。 我最终没有。他的脸眸却晨昏伴我，直到我再度恋爱。但那一刻的心光交流，将伴我一生。激我且生且爱，无惧无悔。

 

 

 

附记  Marikah’s original description: It happened when I was going to the restroom. I was going in and he was coming out. We looked into each each other’s eyes  and I just felt …love. During that brief moment, I know our hearts met and we understood each other. It’s love. He was an Indian, incredibly handsome. But his eyes were green, which was unusual for an Indian. I even wanted to turn around and just look for him in Indy after I got on highway. He must be an international student. It just happened.

In fact, Marikah started to date a really nice young man a couple of months later and they seem to be really happy with each other ever since. Marikah was a lesbian before.
