*****"In French you don't really say "I miss you." You say "Tu Me Manques," which is closer to "You are missing from me." I love that. "You are missing from me." You are apart of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you."*****
"Tu Me Manques", Aria whispered to James as they laid in bed with her head resting on the crook of his neck. She was tracing shapes and lines on his chest with her fingers.
Grabbing a hold of her hands, James intertwined their hands. "What language is that? And what does that mean?", James said crinkling his eyebrows in thought.
"It's French. Generally it would mean I miss you but it's closer translated to you are missing from me." Aria said closing her eyes as she sighed.
"Why do you miss me, I'm right here." James said as he kissed her hand.
Loosening her hand from his, she put it back on his chest and started tracing words as she said "I was just thinking... if you ever left or weren't in my life.... that's how I would be feeling." Aria concluded as she rested her hand against her lips that she was softly biting. James shut his eyes as if he felt a pain at the thought of her not being in his life. Sitting up slightly, he gathered her in his arms.
Hugging her tightly, he replied "I will never voluntarily leave you. I can't even fathom the thought of leaving you. Te Amo Cariño. I love you dearly." Tears came to Aria's eyes as she felt his words go straight to her heart.
"Car, vois-tu, chaque jour je t'aime davantage, aujourd'hui plus qu'hier et bien moins que demain it means 'For you see, each day I love you more today than yesterday and less than tomorrow'." Aria said as she gave him a kiss. It was a soft kiss, one that sent all the feelings they felt into it. The feeling of coming home. The warmth that spread through them made them feel safe. They both knew that in that moment if they ever lost one another they'd both be feeling like they lost a limb. They aren't perfect but they fit each other like two puzzle pieces.
*****When I think of you, I think of these sayings. Because you are a piece of me. You are what makes me who I am. Without you, I can't function, I can't think straight. I am without reason. You're not perfect. You're far from it exactly, but it's what makes you human. Being perfectly imperfect is what makes you my light. You're the beacon of hope in my eyes. I love you yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I'll love you with every breath I take till my last.*****
