Chapter 5 4. Love That Never Dies

I don't want to say who it was, anyway, there was such a pair of lovers who had a meal together after 25 years of separation.When the two got along, they were dreamy students. Twenty-five years later, they were middle-aged people who began to think about retirement plans.During the twenty-five years, the two of them had no contact, no meetings, phone calls, letters, or E-mails at all. It was as if the other party had died. Unexpectedly, after the meal, the two of them found their feelings again. They are old and immortal. Love is back. I love the tangled emotions.This kind of unclear story is the color in our black and white life.It is a very precious thing to have such unreal feelings in the very realistic years, and it is not easy to find some feelings.This kind of inexplicable thing will bring us good-looking movies, good books, and good songs.One of my favorite Joan Baez songs commemorates her broken relationship with Bob Dylan.In the 1960s and 1970s, these two men were the most influential singers in the American music industry. I grew up singing their anti-war songs and ballads. To this day, I still think that I am basically a hippie.Many years later, I went to a Joan Baez concert with some middle school classmates, and we just wanted to get nostalgic.I remember when I went there that day, I heard that Dylan might come, and everyone was excited about the suspense. After Baez sang the third song, he said with a trembling voice:

"I'll be damned, look what the wind brought in." ("I'll be damned, look what the wind brought in.") Suddenly, Bob Dylan's messy hair appeared on the stage, holding a guitar, sitting next to Baez, the audience went crazy and cheered loudly, the two sang Blowing in the Wind together again, and everyone was soaked in memory Crispy.After the song was sung, Bob Dylan left, and Baez tearfully continued singing her own song.This is the most straightforward lyrics I have heard that expresses the brokenness of the root. I believe that it takes courage to sing it.My translation is not the best:

Heck/Your ghost reappeared/It’s not surprising/It’s just a full moon/You’re calling/I’m sitting still/Holding the phone with both hands/Heard a familiar voice from light years ago/To be completely lost again into the abyss. I remember / your eyes are bluer than the lake / your poetry is worse / you said / where did you call / a pay phone in the west / ten years ago I gave you a pair of cufflinks / you gave me something / You and I know what memory brings. Rusty diamond / You came already a legend / A miracle uncorrupted / An original vagabond / You wandered into my arms / Seemed lost at sea for a moment / Goddess gave all to you / That is The girl standing on the half shell / She can protect you from injury / I see you again standing in the fallen leaves, snowflakes in your hair / I think of you again at the window of the broken hotel in Washington Square smile / Our breath is like a white cloud, entwined and we can't bear to let it go / For me, we could have died perfectly / Now you say this is not nostalgia, then find another word for me / You are so good Man of words, still so good at blurring everything / I desperately need a little blur because the past is suddenly too clear / Yes, I still can't let it go / If you bring rusty diamonds again / What I owe is paid off.

The two lovers in our story also want to wash off the rust on the diamond, and run to a very cold place to see again how bright their diamond is under the stars.But after all, twenty-five years have passed, and both of them have concerns. Although they organized and planned countless times, the air tickets were booked and refunded, and they were refunded and booked again. In the end, they still didn’t leave. It’s just that one month’s E-mail is enough. A novel.It is said that one of them listened to the song "Rusty Diamond" for a full 136 times, and then decided that the rust of the diamond should be kept, and the old immortal love will shine without being too close.
