“有许许多多的事情我要回报你，等你回来，但是你没有”，这首诗是一位普通的美国妇女写的，她的丈夫在女儿4岁时应征入伍去了越南战场，从此她便和女儿相依为命。后来，她的丈夫不幸阵亡。她终身守寡，直至年老病逝。
Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
记得那天，我借用你的新车，我撞凹了它
I thought you'd kill me
我以为你一定会杀了我的
But you didn't.
但是你没有
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach
记得那天，我拖你去海滩
And you said it would rain, and it did?
你说会下雨的，结果真的下了
I thought you'd say, "I told you so."
我以为你会说“我告诉过你”
But you didn't.
但是你没有
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys
记得那天，我和所有的男人调情好让你嫉妒
To make you jealous, and you were?
而你真的嫉妒了
I thought you'd leave,
我以为你一定会离开
