記憶

對於過往，人的記憶倒底能承載多少？那些在當時視為珍貴難得，必定要終身記得的時刻，在若干年後還能被彼此記得嗎？那些非相守一生不可的堅持與承諾，在分手後，還存有多少重量？那些曾經要好，但已不在身邊繞著、沒有太多交集的朋友，關於彼此美好的回憶，到底被保存了多少？

說起人的記憶，真是令人感傷，過濾速度之快，那些不在當下和自己沒有太多聯繫的人事物，都漸漸地被遺忘，那些沒有留下文字、照片、或實物的過往，日子久了就船過無痕，像從來沒發生過似的。

我說，你當時送我一首歌，讓我覺得我是你最特別的朋友，你說，我有送過你歌嗎？你說，我當時說了一句重要的話，影響了你的決定，我說，那句話是我說的嗎？

想到我們或單方遺忘了些當時認為重要的時刻，就夠讓人難過半晌了，沒人記得就已相當於沒有發生過，但是，沒關係，因為記憶並不會讓我們把這難過記得太久。

"Think of Me" sung by Emmy Rossum, in the movie "The Phantom of the Opera"



CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL:
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE
Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!
