~ Randomly...
I went to watch the movie, Happy Birthday, with Hadrian today. It was ok. It started out pretty romantic. I meant, the idea of keeping someone by your side by not being in a love relationship with him. Because 'soul mates' last longer than lovers. Not entirely true, but not untrue too.
But, as the story progressed, it felt pointless. Especially when both Mimi and Nam were so clearly in love with none other but each other. If Mimi was waiting for her insecurities to clear, I think the wait was futile. Not only because Nam died in the end, without her knowing, anyway. But also because, I think to be able to trust someone with your insecurities would be far more meaningful than to be in some form of denial about how you feel about him. And I, too, don't understand why Nam had to lie to Mimi about him being married and migrated when in fact, he's just slowly dying of cancer.
Ok. Maybe I understand. But I just don't believe in the existence of such a man, or such a person, or well, such a love story. What started out as a romantic notion slowly became unconvincing to me.
I agree with what Mimi's friend said.
一段感情如果等得太久，是会变味的。
I think we all desire to be loved.

The song that Mimi and Nam were singing, a few times, throughout the show... I happened to hear it again, from the HK series that I'm semi-hooked on now, on cable TV. The lyrics keep getting to me. And it's because of the lyrics that I recognised the song as the same one from the movie.
So, I resolved to find the lyrics for this particular song tonight. Without even knowing the title or the singer. But... ha! I'm resourceful and smart. So... here goes...
有多少爱可以重来 -- 黄仲昆
常常责怪自己 当初不应该
常常后悔 没有把你留下来
为什么明明相爱到最后还是要分开
是否我们总是俳徊在心门之外
谁知道又和你相聚在人海
命运如此安排 总叫人无奈
这些年过得不好不坏
只是好像少了一个人存在
而我渐渐明白 你仍然是我不变的关怀
有多少爱可以重来
有多少人愿意等待
当懂会珍惜以后回来
却不知那份爱会不会还在
有多少爱可以重来
有多少人值得等待
当爱情已经桑田沧海
是否还有勇气去爱
