但是你没有
作者Merrill Glass
还记得吗?那天,我借用你的新车,结果我撞凹了它
我以为你一定会杀了我的
但是你没有
还记得吗?那天,我硬拉着你去海滩,而真如你所说的下了雨
我以为你会说“看吧,我就说嘛”,
但是你没有
还记得吗?那天,我和所有的男孩子调情好让你吃醋,而你真的吃醋了
我以为你一定会离开我
但是你没有
还记得吗?那天,我在你的新地毯上吐了满地的草莓饼
我以为你一定会厌恶我的
但是你没有
还记得吗?那天,我忘了告诉你那个舞会是要穿礼服的,而你却穿了牛仔裤
我以为你一定会抛弃我,
但是你没有
是的,有许多的事你都没有做,而你一直容忍我,钟爱我,保护我
有许多许多的事情我要回报你,只要你从越南回来
但是你没有
But you didnt
by Merrill Glass
Remember the day I borrowed your brand
new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all
the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave,
but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie
all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me,
but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me,
but you didn't.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you
when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
