A Christmas Romance

Merry Christmas 2012
Every Christmas, I’m reminded of a story that occurred years ago. I briefly recount the story below in Chinese to preserve its original meaning and expressions. I’ve also loosely translated the story in English further down the page though some of its meaning might have been lost in translation.

 
此故事改编自真人真事

在学生时期   我   迷恋   上一个女孩
某年的平安夜   我们在   圣诞派对   相遇
派对结束后   我送她   回家

回家路途中   我们   聊了许多话题
内容的细节   我   已忘了
但当时的   感觉   却如同昨日

过了细数岁月   心 依然还挂念着   她
这些年   我并没向她   告白
因为   我们始终是来自   两个不同世界的人

今年   圣诞节   又想起了   她
我爱她   唯一的方式   就是祝福
所以   希望她永远   幸福   快乐

 
This story is written based on actual events.

When I was a student, I was infatuated with a girl.
I met her at a Christmas party on Christmas eve,
And sent her home after the party ended.

On the journey home, we chatted about many things.
Though I’ve long forgotten the details of our conversations,
The feeling still lingers on like it was just yesterday.

After all these years, I still think of her.
But I didn’t profess my love for her,
For we belong to two different worlds.

This Christmas, I’m reminded of her again.
The only way I can love her is to give her my best wishes,
And hope that she stays blessed and loved, always.
