"Nous étions ensemble. J'oublie le reste."
— Walt Whitman
Simplified Meaning:
When people say "We were together. I forget the rest," they mean that the most important thing to them was being with someone they care about, and everything else doesn't really matter. Imagine spending a whole day with your best friend doing simple things like talking, laughing, and walking in the park. You might not remember every little detail about what you talked about or what you saw, but what stands out is the feeling of being with your friend. This quote reminds us that the best memories are often about who we are with, not what we do. It teaches us to value our relationships and those special moments with loved ones over material things or specific events. In life, focusing on the people we cherish can bring us the most joy and comfort, even when other details fade away.
