You Can Say Everything With Just One Glance

We do not have to say anything to each other. All we need is a look that contains every “I love you” we have said, every kiss we have shared, every promise we have made, and every touch that is tattooed on our skin. Because when your eyes find mine, there are no words. Our hearts dance to the rhythm of the universe, right there between your gaze and mine…

Linguists say that although love is the most universal feeling, subtle differences in how it is expressed have made it unique, almost untranslatable, in each country. In Japan, for example, “Koi no yokan” means something like the intense and inexplicable feeling you feel when you look at someone you will always love.

In sign language, “I love you” can be expressed in different ways. One way is to raise the index finger, little finger and thumb. The magic of this gesture is exceptional, because you do not need a voice or words made of sounds. The feeling remains the same, just like in any language in any corner of the planet.

But perhaps the most universal language you can use to convey true love is through appearance, where emotions burn, satisfy and fascinate. Although we apparently still need words to help us…

One look, and “I love you” in a thousand languages

They say that love is a chemical shipwreck, that desire – which includes every promise made under the duvet, every evening trip full of kisses and laughter – is nothing more than the result of a complex machinery of neurotransmitters and hormones.

This is certainly hard to believe. Because love is more than just chemistry. It’s a moment. It is a look that attracts you to someone without knowing why. And it’s taking the risk of saying ‘I love you’ even if you’re scared, as if your whole life depended on it. Maybe that’s why people have always tried to capture and turn all these inexplicable, contradictory, intense and magical feelings into language. Let’s look at a few examples.

• Firgun. This Hebrew word means to feel happy because someone you love has done something good.
• Dorn. This Romanian word refers to the pain you feel when you are not with the person you love.
• Merak. When you love someone, when you do something that pleases you a lot, it feels like you are one with the universe. This wonderful feeling, so complete and intense, is something that the Serbs tried to capture with this word.

• Cwtch, from Welsh. It’s the wonderful hug you receive from your partner.
• Naz, from Urdu. It refers to the pride of feeling loved.
• In the Yaghan language, spoken by the indigenous peoples of the southernmost tip of South America, the word ” Mamihlapinatapai ” describes what happens when two people look at each other and know that they both like each other, but both are too shy to take the first the step.

Quiet love

No part of the body is home to more emotional weight than the eyes. Therefore, it does not really matter so much what words you say. Because it is quite likely that you already knew that you were loved long before these words were spoken, thanks to the sparkling eyes, the gaze that holds you, seeks you, which never needs subtitles to describe what the soul feels.

Silent love says much more than a sentence, a conversation, or the best card in the world. In fact, when the words stop, the hands begin to search, the mouths find each other to paint a picture with kisses, and the bodies touch each other to play the true game of love, where silence reigns and everything is real.

However  , we must always communicate to build love. Whether it is with sign language, or learning to speak the language of the person you love, you need to communicate to give shape to the spark that ignites in the heart.

According to Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages , the physical expression of love and passion is only part of what constitutes a stable and happy relationship. People need to receive love, support, empathic communication and understanding from their partner, who must be able to say in words everything they express with their eyes.

Because as they say, love begins with a look, is said with a word, is felt with a kiss, and sometimes it is lost with a tear.
