One warm evening many years ago…
犹记得多年前，那个让人暖心的夜晚。
After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days,
整整8天除了睡着其余的时间我都陪着安吉尔，酝酿已久，
I knew that I had to tell her just one thing.
我想我一定要告诉她一件事。
So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear.
于是这天夜里，就在她刚刚睡下，我便在她耳边轻声说起来。
She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back – and she said,
说完她就笑了，是那种希望得到我回应的笑，接着说道：
8220;When I 8217;m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young,
“真希望我老到75岁的时候，开始回忆，
I hope that I can remember this very moment. 8221;
这一刻须臾会变成永恒。”
A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
很快她就闭上眼睛睡着了。
The room was peaceful – almost silent.
整个房间祥和安静，甚至有些寂静。
All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing.
耳畔起伏着安吉尔轻柔的呼吸声。
I stayed awake thinking about the time we 8217;d spent together
我清醒的回忆我们共度的这些美好时光，
and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible.
是冥冥之中的选择成就了我们在一起的时刻。
And at some point, I realized that it didn 8217;t matter what we 8217;d done or where we 8217;d gone.
我们做过什么，去过哪里都不重要。
Nor did the future hold any significance.
甚至未来也不重要。
All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.
眼下最重要的就是此刻的和谐安宁。
Just being with her and breathing with her.
只要能与她同呼吸共命运，便别无所求。
