再一個月就要大考了,聽那個誰誰誰說:你正爲了跟女朋友分手的事心神不寧。
我可以體會你的心情,戀愛跟失戀的情緒,往往是不為外人道,只能自己咀嚼,旁人即使安慰,也未必能紓解你心中的結。
我並不想跟你說什麼:「不愛了,就讓它過去」的大道理。因為道理人人都聽過,在文字上都看過,只是做不做得到而已。但是,我必須提醒你,你還年輕,還沒有一次應付兩件事情的能力。大考在即,你現在要做的,是把心力都放在書本上。
你或許會說,失戀的情緒,讓你對書本提不起興趣。但是我要告訴你,在這兩件事情裡,你目前唯一能掌握的,只有你的成績。如果你在這個時候,不論是自憐自艾,或想去追回她的心,所耗費掉的,必定瓜分你用在書本上的時間跟精力,而且結果也未必能讓你得償所願,因為難測的是人心,但成績卻是一份收穫來自一份耕耘。
試想,以你現在這樣惶惶不安的心境,在幾個月後,萬一成績也搞砸了,人也沒回到你身邊,是不是白白浪費這一個月的生命。但是如果你在這一個月,能夠心無旁騖,好好的拼一拼,等到學校搞定,再來想如何把她追回來,心境會不會比較從容,時間會不會比較寬裕?兩者比較,你就應該可以看出事情的成功率。聰明的你,應該不會選擇兩頭空的結局。
而我也不諱言地告訴你,如果你這時候不讀書,還想去「勾勾纏」,或許可以得到個「癡情」的名聲,但是,也顯示你沒有判斷事情的輕重緩急的能力。相信我,女生要選男朋友,你一定排不上名,因為這叫:沒個性。
我不會跟你說:書中自有黃金屋,書中自有顏如玉。也不會花時間勸你看開一點,因為你只會當作是放屁。但是,很多事情不能急,先在有把握的事情上盡力,等到你有餘力,或許那時你就會看到不同的光景。那時如果你還有心,我們再來討論如何把她追回手裡。
所以,別再搞悲情,給我像個男人,好好唸書去!
至於那個誰誰誰說的,什麼追回來以後,再甩掉的餿主意,就當他是狗屁,我自會找他算帳去!
The End Of The World
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
It's over tonight
If someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
It's over and done
If someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried, you'd sympathise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
Imagine total teenage destruction
The Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow
But if someone tried (you'd realise)
You'd realise (and sympathise)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried (you'd sympathise)
You'd sympathise (and realise)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end
