生命有限，真愛無涯

Our love story has a time limit. I don’t want to see you cry for me for the rest of my life. I can’t see your tears rolling down your red cheeks. I want to see you happy in this short time. I want to die without regret.

It was summer when I was ten， I heard doctor say to mommy and daddy that I have leukemia[白血病] (blood cancer) and it would be hard for me to live the age of 21 unless I had a spinal cord transplant[脊髓移植]. I heard it and you heard it too. You heard your daddy say it to my mommy and daddy. I didn’t cry but you did. It’s the first time someone besides my family cried for me. From then on， we were always together. We wrote our promises on a piece of paper. I promised to marry you when I grew up and you were willing to be my bride.

Our love story has a time limit. I want to decorate[裝飾] your face with a smile. I am willing to sacrifice[犧牲] anything just to see the smile on your face. I want to remember each part of your face before I really can’t see it anymore.

Eight years after that， we were still together and you grew up and became a beautiful angel. I liked to see you play volleyball. The way you jumped， the way you celebrated your victory， the way you handled the game. You were the apple of my eye[心愛的人或物]. I loved you， my angel. I couldn’t always stay by your side because I was a burden. Then I decided to move to another school. Mommy and daddy agreed to let me choose my favorite school when I was in senior high school. I moved to another school without you knowing it but you still caught my eye. You entered the same school as I was. You said you didn’t want to be separated with me because you were my girlfriend. Yes， that was true， you were my beloved girlfriend. But I couldn’t let you waste your life by being with me. I acted rude to you and you left me with tears rolling down your lovely cheeks. Your eyes were blurred[模糊] with tears and I could see pain in them. I didn’t mean to be like that.

Our love story has a time limit. I want to spend the rest my life with you but I can’t stand to see you cry. When you are with me， you always cry. It makes me hurt to see you cry. I love you more than anything in this world， my beloved angel.

On my 20th birthday， you didn’t celebrate it for me like you always did. It was winter and I liked winter because it could numb[使麻木] all my pain and all my feeling. When I stared out of the window of the hospital， someone knocked the door. Yes， I was hospitalized[住院] again to be checked up. It was you who knocked on the door. You brought a cake and put it in front of me. You asked me to make a wish. Did you know what I wished for that day? I wished that you would always be happy even though I was not in this mortal[人的] world anymore. I blew out the candle and you put the cake aside. You took out something for the pocket from your coat. A present for me; a four-leaf clover[苜蓿] necklace. You said it would bring luck to the owner. You stared me in the eyes， the eyes that I liked so much and said to me to never leave you. I knew my condition well and I knew my time was running out. That day I took you on a date. We went to the place that you and I both like. We spent all day smiling and laughing. That’s what I wanted all my life， your smile and laughter. That night after our date， my condition got worse. I even had to wear an oxygen mask[氧氣罩] but I asked your father and my family to say nothing about that. The day after my unforgettable birthday， I asked permission from my family and your father to take you out. They already knew it so they granted my wish.

Our love story has a time limit. This will be the first and the last letter I have ever written to you. I know today is my time but I don’t want to die in my hospital bed. I want to die with you by my side at our favorite place， the flower garden. I am sorry I can’t keep my promise to marry you but I want you to know that I will always love you. I have wished to become your guardian angel when I leave. Goodbye and remember that I will always love you， my beloved angel.

我們的愛情故事有一個期限。我不想在余生里一直看著你為我哭泣。我無法看著淚水從你嫣紅的臉頰上滑落。我想在這段短暫的日子里看到你開心快樂，便死而無憾了。

十歲那年的夏天，我聽見醫生對爸爸媽媽說我得了白血病（血癌），除非做骨髓移植手術，否則很難活到21歲。我聽見了，你也聽見了。你聽見你的爸爸向我父母說明情況。我沒有哭，你卻哭了。有家人以外的人為我哭泣，這是我有生以來第一次。從那時開始，我們總是粘在一起。我們在一張紙上寫下我們的誓約。我約定等我長大就娶你，你也愿意做我的新娘。

我們的愛情故事有一個期限。我想用笑容裝點你的面龐。只要能看到你的笑顏，我愿意付出任何代價。在我再也無法看到你之前，我要牢記你的每一分音容笑貌。

八年之后，我們依然在一起，你出落成一個美麗的天使。我喜歡看你打排球——你蹦蹦跳跳，慶祝勝利，沉著應戰。你是我的寶貝。我愛你，我的天使。我不能一直待在你身邊，因為我是個負擔。后來我決定轉學。讀高中時，爸爸媽媽讓我自行選擇喜歡的學校。我沒有告訴你便去了另一所學校，但我又看見你了。你也入讀了同一所高中。你說你不想和我分開，因為你是我的女朋友。是的，確實沒錯，你是我心愛的女朋友。但我不能讓你和我一起浪費生命。我對你粗魯無禮，你離開了，淚珠滑過你可愛的臉頰。……
