Girls

Adam:

二十二歲時，一個哥倫比亞女孩甩了我，她既出生于哥倫比亞，也讀了哥倫比亞大學。它既漂亮又聰明，還是Gabriel García Márquez的親戚。就在我們剛墜入愛河時，她突然消失了。

我才意識到，她只是在利用我。她是天才而我卻是個混混。我整天盯著天花板，想著我們第一次在沙發上做愛，那是個週四，在雷雨後的陽光下。

然後渾渾噩噩的幾個月之後，我意識到了一些事。我不了解她。她也不了解我。就算我和她發生過關係，知道她中間名字或她喜歡的唱片，這也都不代表什麼，一點關係也沒有，任何人都可以做到。

真正的了解一個人，不是這些。

這是完全是兩碼子事。當它發生時，你不會遺漏掉它。你會感覺到的。你不會難過，也不會害怕。

"When i was twenty-two, this Colombian girl dumped me. She was both Colombian, and went to the University of Columbia. And she was beautiful and she was smart and she was related to Gabriel García Márquez. And just as fast as we fell in love, she disappeared.

And I knew she had just used me. You know, she was an intellectual and I was a thug. And I just stared at the ceiling all day, remembering the first time we fucked on my couch, in sunnyside after a rainstorm on a Thursday.

Then one day after being fucked up for months, I realized something. I didn't know her. She didn't know me. Just because I tasted her cum and spit, or could tell you her middle name or knew what record she liked, that doesn't mean anything. That's not a connection. Anyone can have that.


Really knowing someone is something else.

It's a completely different thing. And when it happens, you won't be able to miss it. You will be aware. And you won't hurt or be afraid."
