adapted from 我想念你的多种方式, by 饭饭
For instance, I will change one of my habits. I don't eat carrots, but I will, so that every time I eat a carrot, I will think of you.
For instance, starting now, within a year, I will take the bus and get off one stop before my destination. I will walk there slowly, looking at the trees and the people around me. They will be silent, so will I, because I will be thinking of you.
For instance, I will avoid a certain word. Every time that I have to use it, I will pass around it, very carefully, picking another word instead, so I will be be reminded of you.
For instance, every time that I go out on the streets, if I feel really happy, I will say your name out loud. It's such a common name, every time that I do it, someone will surely turn and look at me, thinking that I have called their names. Maybe they will smile, or look confused. I will be very happy. I think that maybe, maybe once in a while, I will find you looking at me.
For instance, in the summer, when it's hot out there, I will dump buckets of water on myself. So cold. I will refer to this act as you.
For instance, when I drink, I will finish my glass with one gulp. I will declare that the only times that I drank like this, I was drinking with you.
For instance, I will start to exercise. I hate it, but you asked me to. I will do it, so that every time I frown, I will think of you.
For instance, I will not mention and I will not visit your city anymore, but by doing so, I will think of it constantly, I will think of you.
For instance, every stranger that I meet on the road, they could be happy or sad or indifferent, I will believe that they have a reason for feeling so. It's because they don't know you. But if I feel happy or sad or indifferent, I will also have a reason for feeling so. It's because I know you. This will make me think of you at any place at any time.
For instance, I will go to people who know you. They may mention you, they may not, but I will know it's because of you. No matter whom I go to, I will think of you at least once.
For instance, I will read trashy books and profound books. I will be reminded of you no matter what I read, because you read all of them.
For instance, I will write you a short story, because you wanted me to write one, but I never wrote anything. I did write one, after all this time. The main character is a little like you, he reminds me of you.
For instance, I will stop playing hide-and-seek, because I will be reminded that you are hiding from me. I may not find you. I still want to play though, because in the end, I will definitely find you. It doesn't matter whether I play or not, I will think of you.
For instance, someday I'll find a book with your name signed, on another day I'll find a photo of you. I will show them to people. I will say, look, aren't they nice. Maybe I'll be quite old by then, my memory will suffer, but still I will think of you.
For instance, someday, someone will ask me, whether I knew you, whether I remember things about you. I will say yes. Then I will remember everything that reminded me of you and go over them again.
For instance, someday, someone will ask me, whether I knew you, whether I remember things about you. I will say no. Then I will remember everything that reminded me of you and go over them again.
For instance, you will appear before me, laugh at me, mock me. I will forgive you and show you what I have written. I will laugh with you. I will say I didn't miss you, not one bit. I will say that because I am kind of shy.
For instance, for instance...
For instance, I will dedicate this to you. I will reread it, I will think that, yes, I could dedicate this to you. It is dawning. It has been a couple of hours. The sky went from very dark to light, I have been thinking of you. My friends will talk to me about what I have written and that will make me think of you, again and again.
