At 11:00 PM every night,Station WLYRaired a show called“Midnight Messages.”
It was simple:
Listeners could call in, request a song, and leave a short anonymous message.
Maya had been listening for months.
She loved the quiet intimacy of it—
The way people whispered goodnights across the airwaves,
The way songs said what words sometimes couldn’t.
One night, a new voice appeared.
Soft. Hesitant.
“For someone who stays up late reading. Hope you’re taking care of yourself.”
The song:“Moon River.”
Maya smiled.
She was reading that night.
Over the next few weeks, the voice returned.
Different songs, always with a message that somehow fit her night exactly.
“For someone watching rain against the window.”
“For someone carrying a heart too full.”
One night, she finally called in.
Voice shaking, she left her own message:
“For whoever keeps sending songs— Thank you. You make the night feel less empty.”
Her song choice:“Here Comes the Sun.”
The next evening, the host read out a note:
“To the girl who listens closely— Meet me at the Station Open House next Friday. I'll be wearing a blue jacket.”
Maya debated for days.
But when Friday came, she went.
The station was smaller than she imagined, full of dusty microphones and battered couches.
And there, near the back, stood a boy in ablue jacket, nervously holding a coffee cup.
He smiled when he saw her.
Not a perfect smile.
But a real one.
“Hi,” he said.
And somehow, it sounded exactly like a song written just for her.

每天晚上十一點,WLYR電臺都會播出一個節目——“午夜留言”。
節目很簡單:
聽眾可以打電話進來,點一首歌,
并留下一條匿名的短消息。
瑪雅已經聽了好幾個月了。
她喜歡這種深夜的親密感——
喜歡那些輕聲道晚安的陌生人,
喜歡那些用音樂表達言語無法說盡的情緒。
某個夜晚,一個新的聲音出現了。
柔軟、帶著遲疑:
“給那個深夜還在看書的人。 希望你照顧好自己。”
點的歌是:《Moon River》。
瑪雅笑了。
那晚,她確實在看書。
接下來的幾周,那個聲音不斷出現。
每次都點不同的歌,
每次的留言,都剛好貼合她的心情。
“給那個凝望窗外雨幕的人。”
“給那個胸口裝著太多心事的人。”
終于有一天,她鼓起勇氣,自己也打了電話。
聲音微微顫抖,她留了言:
“給那個一直點歌的人—— 謝謝你。 是你讓夜晚不再那么空蕩。”
她點的歌是:《Here Comes the Sun》。
第二天晚上,電臺主持人念了一條新留言:
“給那個聽得很用心的女孩—— 下周五,在電臺開放日見吧。 我穿藍色夾克。”
瑪雅猶豫了好多天。
但星期五,她還是去了。
電臺比她想象中小得多,
滿是塵封的話筒和破舊的沙發。
而那里,在角落里,
一個穿著藍色夾克的男孩,
緊張地捧著一杯咖啡。
看到她,他笑了。
不是那種完美無瑕的笑,
而是真實得像專門為她譜寫的一首歌。
