I Promise to Be There for You

Guidance for Reciting

Love is a chord in life,not a solo.

If one day you feel like crying…

Call me.

I don't promise that I will make you laugh,

But I can cry with you.

If one day you want to run away―

Don't be afraid to call me.

I don't promise to ask you to stop…

But I can run with you.

If one day you don't want to listen to anyone…

Call me.

I promise to be there for you,

And I promise to be very quiet.

But if one day you call…

And there is no answer…

Come fast to see me,

Perhaps I need you.

与你相伴

诵读导言

爱是人生的和弦,而不是独奏曲。

如果有一天你想要哭,

呼唤我。

我不能保证把你逗笑,

但我会和你一起哭泣。

如果有一天你想要逃避,

尽管呼唤我。

我不能保证阻止你,

但我可以和你一起离开。

如果有一天你不想听任何人说话,

呼唤我。

我保证会在你身旁,

并且保持安静。

但如果有一天你呼唤我,

而没有回应,

快来到我的身边吧,

也许,我需要你。
