It's second nature to love you, it's first to die.

Cameo

Roman (2nd-3rd Century)

Lover’s keepsake: a fractured pebble cameo engraved with a right hand holding an ear, a string of beads, and the Greek inscription “Wherever you are, remember me (and) the love (I bear you)”.

The older I get, the more I find that you can only live with beings who liberate you, who love you with an affection that is as light to bear as it is strong to feel. Life today is too hard, too bitter, too debilitating for us to suffer new bondages, new captivities from those whom we love. This is how I am your friend: I love your happiness, your freedom, your adventure, in a word - and I would like to be, for you, a companion you can be sure of, always.”

— Albert Camus, (to René Char, 1957) in "Camus-Char: Correspondence 1946-1959) (Gallimard, 2007) (via Alive on All Channels)
