B: Je ne te quitterai jamais - and you know it.
For those of you familiar with the French language, you need to read no further… They’re just two lines from a conversation between two people; the most beautiful words used in any prose, poem, song or language…
Never have I come across a love so beautiful – Gay or straight. I’ve searched the entirety of my existence; reading books and listening to songs that immortalise love. The kind of love that I found in 2 lines from 2 people I don’t even know.
I always took pride in the fact that I was a master with words and it fuelled my pride and ego greatly to receive praise for how effortlessly I made language and expression dance to my tune like the Pied Piper of lore. Today I’ve met sweet defeat.
With all my skill at wielding words, I can find no word, sentence or phrase that can substitute these 2 sentences. It has the implication of that mythical love that people no longer believe in or think of it as true only in fairy tales. Love as sweet as wine, heard of only in stories and legends, captured in stone and passed from generation to generation… A love before time!
And just when you feel that such a love cannot be expressed, let alone exist, 2 simple lines render the heart helpless. A love so beautiful, all want it and envy it. A love so pure, like something a child would say to its mother. A love so magical, you don’t need to see it to believe it.
I would give up a thousand suns to share these lines with someone. To know that finally I have found the love of a lifetime. To feel that flame and passion that words cannot describe. Love – untainted by the winds of time, splendid as the brilliance of the stars in the cosmos.
Love, in its purity and rarity – unscathed, unfathomable and unimaginable.
P.S.: I’m sure you’re dying to know what ‘A’ and ‘B’ said to each other… Am not going to put you through the pain that I went through to figure that out so here’s the translation (courtesy Google language tools) –
A: I want to live with you forever
B: I can never leave you - and you know it.
