第一次见到你，真的已经是62年前的事了吗？我明白，这是一生的缘分。
但此时，当我凝望着你的双眸时，一切又都像是就发生在昨天，在汉诺威广场的那间小咖啡店里。
当时，你正在为一位年轻的母亲和她的新生宝贝开门，就在那一瞬间，我看到了你的微笑；从那一刻开始，我就知道，我要与你共度我的余生。
时至今日，我仍然觉得，初次遇到你时，我凝望你的眼神看起来一定很愚钝。
我记得，当时我呆呆地望着你摘下帽子，用手指轻柔地抚弄着你的黑发。
你把帽子放在桌上，双手捧一杯热气腾腾的茶，嘟着嘴轻轻地吹开热气，那一刻，我感觉自己已经完全沉醉在你的一举一动中了。
从那时起，每一件事对我来说都好像是有意义的。
咖啡店里的人们，以及行走于匆忙的街道上的人们顿时都消失在了迷雾之中。
我的眼中只有你。
