He has only, a little piece of me.
1.When he told me he was leaving I felt like a vase which has just smashed. There were pieces of me all over the tidy, tan tiles. He kept talking, telling me why he was leaving, explaining it was for the best, I could do better, it was his fault and not mine. I had heard it before many times and yet somehow was still not immune; perhaps one did not become immune to such felony.
He left and I tried to get on with my life. I filled the kettle and put it on to boil, I took out my old red mug and filled it with coffee watching as each coffee granule slipped in to the bone china.2. That was what my life had been like, endless omissions of coffee granules, somehow never managing to make that cup of coffee.
Somehow when the kettle piped its finishing warning I pretended not to hear it. That's what Mike's leaving had been like, sudden and with an awful finality. I would rather just wallow in uncertainty than have things finished. I laughed at myself. Imagine getting all philosophical and sentimental about a mug of coffee. I must be getting old.
And yet it was a young woman who stared back at me from the mirror. A young woman full of promise and hope, a young woman with bright eyes and full lips just waiting to take on the world. I never loved Mike anyway. Besides there are more important things. More important than love, I insist to myself firmly. The lid goes back on the coffee just like closure on the whole Mike experience.
He doesn't haunt my dreams as I feared that night. Instead I am flying far across fields and woods, looking down on those below me. Suddenly I fall to the ground and it is only when I wake up that I realize I was shot by a hunter, brought down by the burden of not the bullet but the soul of the man who shot it. I realize later, with some degree of understanding, that Mike was the hunter holding me down and I am the bird that longs to fly. The next night my dream is similar to the previous nights, but without the hunter. I fly free until I meet another bird who flies with me in perfect harmony. I realize with some relief that there is a bird out there for me, there is another person, not necessarily a lover perhaps just a friend, but there is someone out there who is my soul mate.3. I think about being a broken vase again and realize that I have glued myself back together, what Mike has is merely a little part of my time in earth, a little understanding of my physical being. He has only, a little piece of me.

1.When he told me he was leaving I felt like a vase which has just smashed. There were pieces of me all over the tidy, tan tiles.
当他告诉我他将要离开，我觉得我就像一只四分五裂的花瓶。在整洁的褐色的瓷砖上到处都是我的碎片。
2. That was what my life had been like, endless omissions of coffee granules, somehow never managing to make that cup of coffee.
这就像我曾经的生活一样，无穷无尽的咖啡粉，不知怎么的从来没有想到去将它泡成咖啡。
3. I think about being a broken vase again and realize that I have glued myself back together, what Mike has is merely a little part of my time in earth, a little understanding of my physical being. He has only, a little piece of me.
我思考着要不要再做那只破碎的花瓶，却发觉我已经将自己重新粘在了一起，麦克拿走的只不过是我人生中的一小块，只是一小块对我生理构造的理解。他只是拿走了，我生命中的一小块而已。作者: laura6688 时间: 2010-9-2 08:52

当他告诉我他要离开的时候，我觉得像是有一个花瓶碎了。整洁的棕褐色的地板上到处都是我的碎片。
That was what my life had been like, endless omissions of coffee granules, somehow never managing to make that cup of coffee.
这就是像是我的生活，无穷无尽的被忽略的咖啡沫，不知怎的却从未被冲成一杯咖啡。

我又想起了那个破碎的花瓶，我觉察到我必须把自己粘合回来。迈克仅仅是我在世上的时间的一小部分，只是我身体的我不曾理解的一小部分，只是我生命中的一个小碎片而已。作者: taoqibao204 时间: 2010-9-2 15:08
