[00:01.19]Speak Out Your Love 勇敢表达心中之爱

[00:08.85]There was once a guy who suffered from an incurable¹ cancer.

[00:13.22]He was 18 years old and he could die anytime.

[00:17.05]One day he was walking down his block 

[00:20.34]when he noticed a beautiful girl about his age in a CD store

[00:24.71]and he knew it was love at first sight.

[00:27.89]He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her.

[00:32.81]She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?”

[00:35.98]She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before 

[00:42.23]and wanted to kiss her right there.

[00:44.41]He said, “Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD.”

[00:51.41]He picked one out and gave her money for it.

[00:54.69]“Would you like me to wrap² it for you?” she asked, 

[00:58.84]smiling her cute smile again.           　　             　　

[01:00.82]He nodded and she went to the back.

[01:03.42]She came back with the wrapped³ CD and gave it to him.

[01:06.93]He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, 

[01:13.06]and she wrapped it for him.

[01:14.69]He took the CD home and put it in his closet⁴.

[01:17.75]He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn’t.

[01:24.10]His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her.

[01:28.59]So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual.

[01:34.60]He bought a CD like he did every day and once again 

[01:38.98]she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped.

[01:42.91]He took it and when she wasn’t looking, 

[01:45.87]he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

[01:49.27]RRRRRING!!!

[01:51.23]One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, “Hello?”

[01:55.50]It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, 

[01:59.77]“You don’t know? He passed away yesterday...”

[02:03.38]The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy’s mother.

[02:07.64]Later in the day, the mother was surprised to find piles and piles of unopened CDs 

[02:14.43]in the boy’s closet and inside the wrappers,

[02:17.49]she found a piece of paper saying “Hi... I think you are really cute.

[02:23.40]Do you wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.”

[02:27.12]So love is... when you’ve had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, 

[02:33.09]hold hands and say, “I Love You.”
