為你等待

張傳鴻

When seeing those college students indulging in romantic affection,I cant help thinking of her,whose sweet smile has long haunted me.A Chinese-American as Faith is,she is unable to utter a single Chinese word because she was brought up in America exposed to total English environment.Thanks to the channel of English language,it took us nodifficultyto communicate at all.

Last August,I was blessed with an opportunity which make me participate an English Summer Camp,in which I met her and other guys.They volunteered their holiday time to fly to China to teach us English.The camp lasted two weeks in a park of Xinjiang.She impressed me with her breathtaking beauty and many talents.Sitting in a circle on the grassland,we began our study.Our fanatics of English were divided into three groups,each one containing roughly nine students.Under the leadership of Faith and Nick,we were intoxicated with the following amazing time.By tongue twister,we tried our best to speak English as clearly as possible to perfect our pronunciation,Nick did best. Through riddle,we completed to be the cleverest one.

In my surprise,faith was always the winner. Judging from our helpless expression,she probably thought we lost hearts,and then decided to show us her singing skill to cheer us up.I lost myself in her piano voice as though she were a real superstar.

Time fled from my finger without any trace.I came to realize that I had had a crush on her gradually. However,I told nobody about it.At the last day of camp,Faith and Nick were invited to my house,I rent off my campus enthusiastically.Several dishes I cooked myself were served to show my hospitality.I didnt tell her that there were peepers in these foods ahead of time.After having a taste,she was so embarrassed that she jumped from sofa at once,just due to the fact it was too hot to stand. Later on,she told us she was afraid of peeper.Sorry about that,my poor Faith.I was given another blue T-shirt in return as a souvenir,which means a great deal to me at present.As I stretchedout my arm to get the T-shirt,my face turned red immediately the moment I touched her hands.What disappointed me most at that time was that I didnt gather enough courage to tell her my feeling.

Nowadays,she is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.We keep in touch by e-mail on a regular basis.It is the most exciting moment when I am browsing through her e-mail.I have uploaded the picture of her on my blog I share with her.So far to check mailbox has been part of my life.I cant do without it.If I fail to control myself to miss her,I will wear that blue T-shirt to walk around in the park hoping to search for something that can console me a little bit.Every time I was back empty-handed,only to find that I missed her more.She said she would plan to come to China this summer again.I wish that day would arrive earlier.I will prepare her favorite dinner without peppers and confess my love toward her without any hesitation in person.The heat is intense in summer,so is my love.I cant wait to see you, Faith.
