(前言)

一個人，無論在哪裡，都該有音樂陪著才對。

可我這趟遠遠的旅行，卻因為貪圖輕鬆，捨去了平日連騎車都是必備的walkman，於是，擁有旅行用專屬音樂的特權，給了楓葉航空。

--

I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

Elton John用單純誠摯的聲音赤裸裸地唱出他的感情。

I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

Vancouver下著雨，我的班機因為更換零件而delay兩小時。隔著小小窗戶，雨珠快速滑落，變成一條一條的線，劃過原本就不甚清楚的視線。

我在故鄉與目的地之間，小到不能再小的座位上，動彈不得。

然後Elton又唱著：

But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love

能不能也這麼理直氣壯的要求愛呢？即使那麼困難，那麼不可能，那麼異於常人？

而我只能微不足道的乞求：

愛我吧，因為我愛你。
