Letter to D: a love story

 

On paper, I could cite Hero and Leandre, Tristan and lsolda, Romeo and Juliette and show how love is the mutual fascination of two individuals based precisely on what is least definable about them, least socialisable, most resistant to the roles and images of themselves that society imposes on them. We could share almost everything because we had almost nothing to start with. All I had to do was consent to live the life I was living, to love, more than anything, your eyes, your voice, your smell, your lovely tapered fingers, your way of inhabiting your body, for the whole future to open up to us.
