愛的代價 Price of Love- Second Story Festival@Webster's Wine Bar

I went to the Second Story Festival with Ann tonight at Webster's Wine Bar to meet two of her long time great friends. One of them is a warm, talented black woman she worked with in Washington DC, and one of the storyteller tonight; the other is Candy, a Taiwanese girl Ann knew since young in Texas.

The appetizers we had there were all amazingly tasty, but unfortunately I only remember one of the dish's name- Pate. I also loved their coffee moose, our desert. It made me feel like in heaven~ However, what touched me most tonight was the stories told by the five storytellers. Their story ranged from lesbian issues, break-up couples, father and daughter, and love affairs outside of marriage. To me, every single story centered one very basic, important yet complicated theme: LOVE.

"To love," I couldn't help but toasted my second wine with the girls.
I wish I could write down my feelings at that very moment, really!

And on my way back, this famous song- Price of Love- hit me, echoing in my mind again and again....

Let's go, let's go, you have to learn how to grow up
Let's go, let's go, you have to undergo some pain, some struggle in life sometimes anyways
Let's go, let's go, find a home for your own heart
You've cried, you've gotten broken heart
But that's the price of love....

愛的代價 　唱：張艾嘉　作詞：李宗盛　作曲：李宗盛
記得年少時的夢嗎　像朵永遠不凋零的花
陪我經過那風吹雨打　看世事無常　看滄桑變化
那些為愛所付出的代價　是永遠都難忘的啊
所有真心的　痴心的話　永在我心中雖然已沒有他

*走吧　走吧　人總要學著自己長大
走吧　走吧　人生難免經歷苦痛掙扎
走吧　走吧　為自己的心找一個家
也曾傷心流淚　也曾黯然心碎　這是愛的代價*

也許我偶爾還是會想他
偶爾難免會惦記著他
就當他是個老朋友啊
也讓我心疼　也讓我牽掛
只是我心中不再有火花
讓往事都隨風去吧
所有真心的　痴心的話
仍在我心中雖然已沒有他

*
