I didn’t manage to love anyone

我没来得及爱任何人

even though I hurried so much

虽然我非常渴望

It was as if I had to love only empty places

仿佛我注定只能爱空处

the dangling sleeves without the embrace

没有手臂拥抱的悬垂的衣袖

the beret abandoned by the head

被头遗弃的贝雷帽

the armchair that also should get up and leave the room

本该也站起并走出房间的扶手椅

the books no longer touched

不再被触碰的书

the comb with a silver hair left in it

残留着银发的梳子

the cots babies outgrew

婴儿已长大并离去的小床

the drawers full of unnecessary things

无用之物的抽屉

the pipe with a chewed mouthpiece

烟嘴带着咬痕的烟斗

the shoes molded to the shape of a foot

保留脚形的鞋子

that departed barefooted

脚已赤裸远去

the phone-receiver where voices grew hush

声音失聪的电话听筒

I hurried so much to love

我曾那么赶快去爱

and naturally I didn’t manage

而显然，我没来得及
