Queer as Folks - S01E11 Excerpt

I know there’s this part of us that thinks we don’t deserve to be loved. So, we fall in love with someone we know we can’t have and who’s never going to love us. And we fantasize about the day when all of a sudden that he realizes and sees everything he’s been missing. And all our dreams come true. Only you know that day never comes. And before you know it, it’s your 40th birthday, it’s your 50th birthday. And you’re still alone. Don’t let that happen to you. Love someone for real. Someone who loves you.

我知道，我们心中都有某个部分认为自己不值得被爱。所以，我们爱上的是我们自知得不到的人，是永远不会爱上我们的人。但我们还是幻想能有那么一天他能恍然大悟，明白他错过了什么。我们的梦想就实现了，但是其实永远不会有那一天。可等自己醒悟时，以及40岁，甚至50岁了。可你任然孤身一人。别让这发生在你身上。去爱一个真实的人。一个爱你的人。
