The Life I Desired我向往的生活

That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vast sea; but the sea is so calm,sosilent,and so indifferent,that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only a kink in my nature,strong in me even inthose days,that I felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something a miss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heartwas desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous shoals.I could only have change-change and theexcitement of unforeseen.

这一定是世间无数夫妻的愿望,一种生活模式能带给他们一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流,蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场,浓荫遮蔽,直到最后它流入辽阔的大 海。但海,就是那么平静,那么沉默,如此冷漠,以至于突然被含糊不清的不安困扰。也许它只是我本性中的一个扭结,在那些日子甚至使我坚强,我感受到了这种 存在,这是一种大家的共享。我意识到了它的社会价值。我体验了它那井然有序的幸福,但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程。在我看来它是安逸中令人 惊惧不安的东西。我心中更渴望一种更惊险的生活。我不会为度过锯齿状的岩石和凶险的浅滩不做任何准备,我只有改变那些无法预料的变化和兴奋。

It's a always nice to get a special sweet surprise,especially the love I see when I look into your eyes.You make me feel special with things you say and do.I think that's part of the reason I fell in love with you.When you speak of love,do the words come from your heart Do you hurt deep down inside when from your love you are apart When you hear the words I Love You,does a tear come to your eye Do you feel your heartas it skips a beat,your breath comes as a sigh I feel these things when I think of you.It happens all the time.You are the light within my life.You are the reason and the rhyme.
