이런 사랑 고백."No, she didn`t. No," he contradicted her with tender stubornness. "You still don`t see, you still won`t see, because you`re not the man who loves you. She couldn`t have, because she wasn`t, until I met her. She only began then, she only starts from then. She only came to existence, as my eyes first took her in, as my love first started in to start. Before then, there wasn`t any she. My love began her, and when my love ends, she ends with it. She has to, because she is my love. Before then, there was a blank. A vacant space. That1s the way with any love. It can`t go back before itself.
"And it`s you I love. The you I made for myself. The you I hold in my arms right now in this car. The you I kiss like this, right now... right now... and mow.
"Not a name on a birth certificate. Not a name on a Paris wedding license. Not a bunch of a dead bones taken out of a railroadcar and buried somewhere by the tracks.
"The name of my love is Patrice to me. My love doesn`t know any other name; my love doesn`t want any."
He swept her close to him, this time such quivering violence that she was almost stunned. And as his lips found hers, between each pledge he told her:
"You are Patrice. You`ll always be Patrice. You'll only be Patrice. I give you that name. Keep it for me, forever."
내가 본 모든 책들 중 가장 ......한(뭐라 표현해야 할지 모르겠다) 사랑고백이다. 이런 고백을 들을 수 있다면 무슨 짓이라도 할 것 같다.
