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.
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.

每天晚上十一点，WLYR电台都会播出一个节目——“午夜留言”。
节目很简单：
听众可以打电话进来，点一首歌，
并留下一条匿名的短消息。
玛雅已经听了好几个月了。
她喜欢这种深夜的亲密感——
喜欢那些轻声道晚安的陌生人，
喜欢那些用音乐表达言语无法说尽的情绪。
某个夜晚，一个新的声音出现了。
柔软、带着迟疑：
“给那个深夜还在看书的人。 希望你照顾好自己。”点的歌是：《Moon River》。
玛雅笑了。
那晚，她确实在看书。
接下来的几周，那个声音不断出现。
每次都点不同的歌，
每次的留言，都刚好贴合她的心情。
终于有一天，她鼓起勇气，自己也打了电话。
声音微微颤抖，她留了言：
“给那个一直点歌的人—— 谢谢你。 是你让夜晚不再那么空荡。”她点的歌是：《Here Comes the Sun》。
第二天晚上，电台主持人念了一条新留言：
“给那个听得很用心的女孩—— 下周五，在电台开放日见吧。 我穿蓝色夹克。”玛雅犹豫了好多天。
但星期五，她还是去了。
电台比她想象中小得多，
满是尘封的话筒和破旧的沙发。
而那里，在角落里，
一个穿着蓝色夹克的男孩，
紧张地捧着一杯咖啡。
看到她，他笑了。
不是那种完美无瑕的笑，
而是真实得像专门为她谱写的一首歌。
