Patience

今天傍晚到了大溪一趟，

替「把妹」補充糧粖，也順便買點日常用品。



時近太陽下山後不久，天色漸暗，

沒有開燈，只靠著餘光，讓車子滑在彎曲的路上，

其實有點危險，畢竟不是沒有來車，

但我卻很是喜歡這樣的感覺，



在那將隱未隱的時刻，

逐漸吞沒一切的黑暗，提醒了自己，「我」的存在，

而燈一開，這種感覺頃刻間就會消失，

因為燈光，變成了告示別人的工具。



==



看不清儀表板上的指針，

也沒有冷氣、音樂，

很單純地…開車。



==



腦中忽然舞起一陣旋律，輕輕柔柔的，

卻一時想不起是什麼歌…



不自覺地哼了兩句，終於想起，

是 GN'R 的 Patience。

以前初聽到這首歌，就被那歌手所唱出來的，低吟式的歌聲所吸引，

單純地配上吉他，讓我一聽再聽。



" I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather being alone

If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love

There's one more thing to consider "



歌聲中混著一點失落、一點寂寥，

又帶著些許的期待，



在這個時刻，唱這樣的歌似乎特別地合適，

緩緩地吟唱著，是可以把自己的心給唱出來的。



==



" Just a little patience... "



==



兩人之間，如果多點耐心去瞭解彼此，

或者，可以少掉很多紛擾？



我也不知道。



==



" And the streets don't change but baby the name

I ain't got time for the game 'Cause I need you "



好傳神的詞。我心裡想著。



同樣的街道，你身旁的人曾幾何時，已不再是原來的那個了？



而在尋尋覓覓之後，終於知道誰是那一個自己願意付出耐心的人，

而此時也才想通，自己已經不再想要玩些什麼愛情遊戲時，

怎辦？



也許...耐心會是解答了。

" Need a little patience..."



==



開燈吧。

天色已經暗了。

Patience by GN'R



Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt You're in my heart now



Said, woman, take it slow

It'll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow

And we come together fine

All we need is just a little patience



I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather being alone

If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love

There's one more thing to consider



Said, woman, take it slow

And things will be just fine

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said, sugar, take the time

'Cause the lights are shining bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it,

We won't fake it,

I'll never break it 'cause I can't take it



...little patience,

Need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience,

Need some patience,

Could use some patience, yeah

Gotta have some patience, yeah

All it takes is patience,

Just a little patience

Is all you need



I been walkin' the streets at night

Just tryin' to get it right

It's hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd

And the streets don't change

But baby the name

I ain't got time for the game

'Cause I need you



Yeah, yeah, but I need you

Oo, I need you

Whoa, I need you

Oo, all this time
