"Every storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning, everything will be made clean again. And even the most troubling stains will have disappeared. Like the doubts over his innocence, or the consequence of his mistake, like the scars of his betrayal, or the memory of his kiss. So we wait for the storm to pass hoping for the best, even though we know in our hearts some stains are so indelible, nothing can wash them away. "
每次暴风雨都会带来希望,只要到清晨,一切都可以洗刷干净。比如说,对于他是否无辜的怀疑,或是犯下错误的后果,又比如说背叛留下的伤疤,或记忆中他的吻。所有我们等待暴风雨过去,期待雨过天晴。即使在我们心中,我们知道,有些污渍太过于顽固,任何东西都无法将他们抹去。
