這些都會過去的

Met quite a number of old classmates along the corridors in NUS this semester, isn't it fascinating that after going through PSLE, Sec 2 streaming, O levels and then A levels, after being filtered into different places and, as we thought, different paths in life, we somehow managed to meet at a certain point again?
Would we have cried so hard, would we have lamented as much, should we know that actually, years down the road, we would wound up in the same place again?
Would my friends who had felt so bitter or smug when we parted ways have known that in the end, we would still be more or less equal?
Of course, some people are filtered out and never to be seen again, they would never realise that eventually, it may turn out the same after all.
Had we known, one day, this will all be insignificant.
Always save your emotions...

康永啊，我想为你的诗做一个photoshop.

有一天
這些都會過去的
想到這結果
我就欣慰

再怎麼累死人的愛
再怎麼累死人的恨
都會過去

失眠
被冤枉
交通阻塞
長得不好看
都會過去

真是令人讚歎啊
生命怎麼能訂製得這麼仁慈?
又這麼冷淡?

你愛收集的
到底是我們的笑啊?
還是我們的淚?

你不必回答我
不管是基於內疚
還是基於憐憫
你都不必回答我

因為你已經夠貼心了
你有向我再三保證了:

有一天
我這些微不足道的疑惑
也都會過去的
也都會過去的
