“Il me dévisage. Il finit par murmurer: mais c’est moi, quand même, c’est pas n’importe qui, c’est pas les autres. Je mords ma lèvre, je retiens les larmes. Je finis par dire: j’ai toujours eu l’impression que tu n’avais pas envie d’une trop grande intimité entre nous. Il me dévisage: tu as déjà vu des intimités plus grandes? tu as une idée de combien de personnes me connaissent comme tu me connais? et moi je sais comment tu gémis, comment tu pleures, comment tu embrasses.



He stares at me. He murmurs: but it's me, anyway, it's not just anyone, it's not the others. I bite my lip, I hold back tears. I say: I always had the impression that you didn’t want too much intimacy between us. He stares at me: have you ever seen greater intimacies? do you have any idea how many people know me like you know me? and I know how you moan, how you cry, how you kiss.”
Philippe Besson, Un certain Paul Darrigrand
