In a library where 7.6 billion books exist, how many mention the same characters? How many events connect and overlap each other? How many readers does one book have? How many collaborate to create one amazing story?

Ah, I wonder.

In this world that constantly changes, one cannot be ignorant and let anything pass by their eyes.

"Je t'aime beaucoup!"

Ignorance will only bring trouble—of downfalls. But ignorance could be bliss... if it was not in my shoes. Yet I am living in a world that I cannot play the ignorance card.

Worse, it could lead to death—my death. But death, I was able to escape. 

"Tu es important pour moi."

Fear has been carved into my mind from a young age. It was instilled by the people who should have honed my childhood with nothing but goodness. However, fear stayed just like dreaming of freedom.

Oh, it's an impossible dream—that was what I initially thought.

Apparently, all the negative thoughts were all just in my head.

I always imagined what goodness and happiness would taste like as I bared my way to continue surviving. It was bitter... before it turned sweet. I should have known that it would be the case. I did not expect it.

"Tu m'as sauvé!"

And love... I thought it was just a word pulled out from the dictionary but I was wrong. It was more than a word and it made sense when I met Alice.

I was told that love changes the game completely. That once you cross paths with that special person, everything will change. Everything in your life will make sense. It was true. Very true.

"Tu me complètes."

But will someone ever accept me? Will someone accept my horrid past and not leave me?

Will someone be there for me?

"Chérie."

In this world where 7.6 billion of people exist, someone loved me when I could not even love myself. No judgement, just trust, faith and love—feelings that I never fathom I would be blessed with in this lifetime.

"Mon chéri."

We don't love someone just because we know everything about that person.

We don't receive love just because we're the first to give. Sometimes, at the oddest time, we fall in the most unexpected ways.

And no matter how horrid one's past is, once we love them, we accept everything about them. Life isn't just about sunshine and rainbows because before you see one, rain will come to pass.

"Je t'aime pour toujours."

In this world where 7.6 billion lives exist, someone was there for me. Someone found me. Someone has set me free.

Because after a long time of waiting, my love arrived.
