[美文欣賞]

Sometimes it takes adverse conditions

for people to reach out to one another

Sometimes it takes bad luck

for people to understand their goals better

Sometimes it takes a storm

for people to appreciate the calm

Sometimes it takes being hurt

for people to be more sensitive to feelings

Sometimes it takes doubt

for people to trust one another

Sometimes it takes seclusion

for people to find out who they really are

Sometimes it takes disillusionment

for people to become informed

Sometimes it takes feeling nothing

for people to feel everything

Sometimes it takes our emotions and feelings to be completely penetrated

for people to open up to love

I have gone through many of these things

and I now know that

not only am I ready to

love you

but I do

[參考譯文]

有時需要逆境

人們才能彼此靠近

有時需要厄運

人們才能更清楚自己的目標

有時需要暴風雨

人們才能珍惜寧靜

有時需要受到傷害

人們才能對感情多一份敏感

有時需要懷疑

人們才能信任彼此

有時需要獨處

人們才能發現真實的自我

有時需要醒悟

人們才能明智

有時需要毫無感覺

人們才能感受萬物

有時需要我們的情感和知覺

全被浸透

人們才能敞開心扉體驗愛

我已歷經這種種心路歷程

所以現在我知道

我不僅已準備好

愛你

我是的的確確愛你
