PUBLIC MARKS from blackgoldfish with tag 愛的小詩

*thankful for the last couple of days that have felt squarely like spring in seattle. doors open. windows open. bliss. *thankful for the word proud. *and for long conversations with my husband about what really matters, about how we can do better, about how we love well, about making plans to celebrate 10 years. *thankful for old friends reaching out to reconnect

Artist Jungyun Yoon makes sterling silver and 14K gold that have "secret" messages on the inside, which leave an impression on your fingers. Wouldn't this "Marry Me" engagement ring be amazing?!

又有人邀請我去野餐，我壞脾氣的說不想曬太陽，他結果帶我去旗津曬月亮，我不開玩笑，那傢伙從車子裡面拿出來老大一條草蓆舖在沙灘上，一個野餐籃子〈台灣到底是去哪裡找這種道具的我至今想不透〉，拿出來冰涼的啤酒，飯團，鹹酥雞，魯味，還有小盒子裝切好的水果，全部都是可以手拿了吃不至於弄髒手的食物，真細心。

「我一向不喜歡灑狗血的肉麻情節。你也許不懂，我老是寫這些咿咿啊啊的做什麼；然而我只是害怕，在這抵禦不住的日日夜夜，有一天，我會忘記。在這個倒牛奶都會打翻的夜裡，我吃著你替我洗淨的櫻桃，想著自己，也想著你。一輩子這個字眼很遙遠，所以才突顯生命的悠長。你也會想想我們嗎？ Dear，我們滿兩週年囉。 才兩年嗎？怎麼覺得好像好久好久了。」

"當一個人的生命確切地踏實在另一個人的心地上，這份所思所感，會在記憶中留下戳記，反應在現實生活中，成為一條索引。愛吃不愛吃什麼、看了哪一部電影會捧腹大笑、哪一位詩人的作品曾讓你在第一時間想起對方.......那作用，等同我慣常在書頁上圈記著一個又一個詞彙、折下一頁又一頁閱覽的瞬間。關鍵字一旦多了起來，就能裝訂成冊；一本不折不扣的備忘指南。 所謂的個人使用說明書，是否就是這麼一回事？撰寫的人不只是自己，有時也參雜了不同於己的人生意見。至少接下來我所書寫的故事中，肯定少不了柔光說過的話。"

you pick up the little things and magically turn them into something special.

我最喜歡的，送過的禮物（或者不是情人節禮物）是一本書，我忘記書名了，是圖文書。它一個跨頁是一個主題，書不厚，但有好多個跨頁，我在每個跨頁上，寫下我跟A做過的事，對A的心情，然後寫完一整本送給他。

preferably something cute and little and filled with candy. I was remembering some little Christmas matchboxes we did when I was at the Kids magazine, so we revamped them for Valentine's day

如果你懂得吵架的秘密，就可以從每一次吵架的對話中，明白對方想表達的真心話。

A year in review, 2008

“Love is not looking at each other, but looking together in the same direction”— Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Here are a few things I wish to do with YOU at some point in this lifetimes:"

"其實我一直不確定的是我自己在愛人面前的樣子，要堅強還是要脆弱。直到遇見了你。我才知道，原來我既可堅強，也可脆弱。而那脆弱，是你賦予我的。我也不知道你打哪來的能量，能夠承載我的大哭，能諒解我喝過酒後的脆弱，能包容我偶有的自卑攻擊。"

" fall in love with you just thinking about you, remembering all the memories we' ve made: falling in love for the first time, staying in love during the rough times, finding more to love about each other every day. "

「她說她倆的愛情變成了習慣，只有感情。習慣的開始，都是默契吧？是大家用時閒和精神去建立，有愛情，也可以有習慣的。還是你有了新刺激，於是馬上覺得舊有的都不能令你感到有趣了？」

"So I started writing down the funnier moments of the day. I keep a jar on my desk, and when the kids say something particularly worthy of recording, I grab a scrap of paper (phone bill, envelope, chopstick holder.. whatever is lying around) and I quickly jot it down. " "The jar is filling up quickly, and when I'm having a below average day, I reach in and pull out a quote.. and suddenly I'm laughing and running to hug my little comedians."

" stamped each page of the book with the date, and wrote 5 things that happened each day. I can read the pages and remember exactly how I felt, where we were walking that day, how happy I was riding the subway on my way to meet him."

What hurts the most, was being so close. Having so much to say, and watching you walk away. Never knowing, what could have been. Not seeing that loving you, was what I was trying to do.
