Old Friend…
Recently, I’ve been sorting out my old pictures and letters. Now that I use e-mail and chatting, I hardly write letters anymore. I found one letter that was given to me before I left for Japan from a friend that I met in Paris. It said, “Out of billions of people I was able to meet you so no matter how far away we are separated from each other, someday, we’ll meet again.” He was a very good friend who listened to my problems and gave me advice when I was living alone. Today, we can become “friends” with a person with one button on a computer and we can talk to people face to face although we are in a different place, but I want to spend time with people where I can see the see and feel the same things. I meet a lot of people lately but I haven’t have an encounter where I can experience the exact same thing with a person. Will there ever be a time for me again where I can spend the whole night with somebody without worrying about time? 最近、私は写真や手紙の整理をしている。メールやチャット するようになってから手紙を書く事少なくなった。パリで知り合った友達が私が帰国する時にくれた手紙が出て来た。”僕たちは何百億万分の一の確率で出会っ て友達になったのだから離れて暮らしてもきっと又、会えるよ”と書いてあった。彼は一人で暮らしていた私のとても良い相談相手だった。今はクリック一つで 世界中の人と友達になれるし、顔を見ながら話だって出来るけれど、私はやはり、同じ時間の中で、同じ風景を見ながら過ごしたい。最近、出会いは多いけど同 じ空間を共有出来るよな、肌が触れ合うような関係はないな。。家に帰る時間も気にせず一晩中、誰かと過ごす事なんてまたあるかな？
