Imagining you could no longer love me is far worse for me than what you call the rules I set for myself. I know we're two people, and so like anyone,we could be together. But for how long? If we're two ordinary people how long will our love last? Eternal love doesn't exist, not even in books. So loving means for a finite time. There'd be no miracle for us, we're no different to anyone else. Otto is the only man who'll love me all his life. It sounds dumb, but it's almost true. If I give myself to you, you'll go off. I'm not a fool. You're handsome. Everyone likes you. You've known a lot of women, I've met at least two of them. As with them, one day you'll leave to love another that you find more pleasing. And I won't survive. Not to mention the jealousy.Junie, La Belle Personne.
