I have a hobby reading posts from forums … some people call it a waste of time … which it totally is … until that day that you read a post about something that hits your heart like a penny dropped from the empire state building …
this particular one is like that …
here is a CnP version of the story directly from the forum
3年前一個情人節晚上
我問我男朋友愛唔愛我
佢話唔知呢
之後我好嬲咁話講la
佢話叫我買6合彩俾左我一堆數字9 12 15 22 5 21
我真係好嬲 之後話分手
佢就一直都冇搵過到我
直到3年後今日
我係街見到一個5-6歲弟弟
個弟弟同佢媽媽講A=1 B=2 C=3
之後我先發現…原來堆數字 係解 I love u
我好心急咁跑返屋企抄電話簿搵佢電話
但係打到佢…係停止服務
之後我打去佢屋企 係佢呀媽聽
我話搵佢 佢呀媽問我係邊個
我答佢我係佢以前女朋友
佢呀媽答我…佢係3年前俾車撞中左 去左世
我當時好意外 吓左一聲
佢呀媽話有野要俾我 我俾左我地址佢
佢呀媽上到黎 俾左份禮物我 就走左
我拆開左份禮物 係一條鏈 有張卡
我睇張卡 內容係…唔好嬲la 傻豬 9 12 15 22 5 21係解I love u呀
我渣住份禮物 喊到收唔到聲
點解當初我要咁蠢
點解咁簡單我都唔明
點解…點解個天要帶走一個咁好o既男人
and heres the translated …
Three years ago during the night of valentines day
I asked my boyfriend does he love me …
and he replied that he doesnt know …
at that moment i was extremely angry at his response
he then told me to go buy a lottery ticket and fill out the numbers 9 12 15 22 5 21
i was really angry so i dumped him …
he never called after that …
today i saw a little child while roaming the streets
the child told his mother A =1 B = 2 C = 3
and then it struck me … the numbers actually mean “I Love You”
i quickly went home searched my phone book to call him …
when i called … the number was out of service
I called his home and his mother picked up the phone … i asked for him and his mother asked me who i was
i told her that i am his exgirlfriend
then his mother told me that he died in a car crash three years ago
i was really surprized … his mother told me that she had something to give me … so i gave her my address
she came to give me the present and left … i then openned the present …
it was a necklace and a card … the card said
Dont be mad silly … 9 12 15 22 5 21 means I love you
as i grasp on to the present … i cried until i cant make a sound
how come i was so stupid
how come i couldnt understand something so simple
why did that day take away such a good man
…
its like hollywood came to life … such drama … such emotions …
it hurts just to read it …
all i can say really is … s!u欣欣 its not your fault …
no sensible person in the world would understand that 9 12 15 22 5 21 means “i love you”
just like the person who first received a message saying 520 wouldnt understand what it meant …
you can rest assure that he died with only you in his heart … not because of anger … but because he loves you …
you can say he hasnt really left at all …
in his last minutes he was thinking of you … and how he could make you happy again …
he is now living inside of you … and will alway be with you …
he is part of you now … and will feel every emotion you have …
so cry no more … feel sad no more …
smile to make him happy …
laugh hard to let him know that you are ok …
to let him know that the person he died loving is also loving him by living
…
something to chew on before you sleep tonight …
how can something so simple end up being so powerful …
maybe a simple i love you would have saved his life … or taken both their lives …
