"My dear, let me tell you a story I was lucky enough to experience not long ago. I was in one of those places where all you remember is the story, not the name. All I remember is boredom, as if I were waiting for something to happen... and then next to me, two young girls were chatting loudly and I was lucky enough to catch this exchange. The first one said "So that's it! Didn't you fall in love this time?" Then the other replied: "No... to fall in love is not to be able to live without that person... and me... honestly, I love him but I know that apart from being a bit sad, nothing would happen if he left." And they went off into fits of laughter, making me lose interest in what they were talking about. So I started to think. Thinking about that sentence that girl had just said... falling in love is not being able to live without the other person... She'd probably said it frivolously, without really paying attention, as if to rehash what she always hears, and yet... when you think about it... there's no better definition of love than that... "not being able to live without the other.
In the universe of love, everyone has their own world. And when you like someone, you want them to discover your world and to explore theirs... so when they leave, you lose a little of yourself. But falling in love... when you fall in love, you leave your world behind to live in the other. And the two worlds merge into one. And then, you know that if one of them ever had the strength to leave, taking the new world with him, then the other would be left with nothing. He wouldn't even be able to please anyone, since he'd have no world to show. How can you fall in love again if you have nothing to share?
All this to tell you, my dear, that without a doubt I've fallen in love with you, and that I beg you never to doubt it, because it would shake up our little world.
My only desire is to abandon myself to your trees, your birds, and all the other creatures that will ever pass through our little world of our own.
I love you in all worlds.
Sincerely"
