Good reading :)

L'AMOUR EXISTE ENCORE
Quand je m'endors contre ton corps
Alors je n'ai plus de doute
L'amour existe encore


Toutes mes années de déroute
Toutes, je les donnerais toutes
Pour m'ancrer à ton port

La solitude que je redoute
Qui me guette au bout de ma route
Je la mettrai dehors

Pour t'aimer une fois pour toutes
Pour t'aimer coûte que coûte
Malgré ce mal qui court
Et met l'amour à mort

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps
Alors je n'ai plus de doute
L'amour existe encore

L'amour existe encore...

On n'était pas du même bord
Mais au bout du compte on s'en fout
D'avoir raison ou d'avoir tort

Le monde est mené par des fous
Mon amour il n'en tient qu'à nous
De nous aimer plus fort

Au-delà de la violence
Au-delà de la démence
Malgré les bombes qui tombent
Aux quatre coins du monde

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps
Alors je n'ai plus de doute
L'amour existe encore
L'amour existe encore
L'amour existe encore...

Pour t'aimer une fois pour toutes
Pour t'aimer coûte que coûte
Malgré ce mal qui court
Et met l'amour à mort

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps
Alors je n'ai plus de doute
L'amour existe encore

LOVE STILL EXISTS

Janet's radio-alarm turned on, waking her. She opened her eyes, and, for a moment, she thought that she was still dreaming. But no, this was real. She was not hallucinating. Daniel was resting besides her, and he had an arm around her.

As Janet looked at Daniel, she considered what had happened during the last year.

At the beginning of that year, Daniel and Janet had started a romantic relationship together. It had been the time of their lives, for both of them. But then, tragedy struck and separated them. For a long time after that, Janet lost all hope to be reunited again with Daniel.

That is, until yesterday.

Janet was in her office, working on some report. Then, she heard the alarms turning on, announcing that the Stargate had activated. Something told Janet that this was important, so she rushed to see what was going on. She was in for a shock. There was Daniel, standing up in the ramp leading to the gate. But contrary to his other visits, this time, Daniel was human again. Janet remembered that Orlin was able to do it, and it seemed like Daniel was able to do it now.

Once the initial shock gone, Dr. Warner and Janet performed some tests on Daniel. The tests confirmed that Daniel was in perfect health, and that there was nothing to worry about.

Janet was brought back from her thoughts when Daniel moved slightly on the bed. Janet looked at the clock, and smiled. General Hammond had made it clear. Janet didn't have to rush to work today. She could even take a day off, if she wanted. Janet smiled at this idea. Maybe she would indeed take the day off.

That's when a song started playing on the radio.

// When I am resting against your body
// Then, there is no doubt in my mind
// Love still exists

Janet looked at Daniel, who was still sleeping calmly. After Daniel's ascension, Janet never thought that she would wake up in his arms again…

// All those hard times
// I will gladly forget them forever
// If I can rest against your body once more.

In the last months, Janet lived through really hard times. She loved Daniel, and even though she understood why he had sacrificed himself, it was still hard to be separated from him. But now, those hard times were gone for good.

// I am afraid of the loneliness
// waiting for me somewhere along the road
// but I will gladly ignore it

`Daniel came back to me. He was able to become human again, just like Orlin did. I don't have to be alone anymore. Now it is time to look towards the future. Our future together,' thought Janet.

// To love you once and for all
// To love you no matter what
// Against the evil running around,
// killing love.

'Yes, Daniel, I will love you no matter what. I have always loved you, and always will.' Janet remembered all the moments they had shared together. For her, they were more important than anything else.

// When I am resting against your body
// Then, there is no doubt in my mind
// Love still exists

Carefully, Janet rested her head against Daniel's chest. She could listen to his heart beating, and she could listen the soft sound of his breathing. He was alive, that was for sure. Janet smiled, and thought that she loved him more and more every day.

// Love still exists….

'Yes, love still exists' she thought, smiling.

// We were not even on the same side

`We were on two different sides. You were dead, Daniel. And I was alive. That's as far as we could get from each other.'

// But, we don't care about it anymore

`But our separation doesn't matter anymore, since you're here again with me.'

// Who can say who is right, who is wrong?

`That's right. We could fight over and over about the reasons for your sacrifice. But that's not the thing to do, right now. We just have to enjoy and cherish each moment we spend together.'

// The world is lead by crazy people

`… And that is not only the case of our world. There are many worlds out there, which are lead by crazy people. This is one of the things that travelling through the Stargate has shown us. I suppose the Nox were right: the very young don't always do as they are told…'

// But, my love, it is only up to us
// To love each other more and more

Janet smiled, knowing this to be true. This was THEIR love. Nobody else but them could make it grow.

// Beyond the violence
// Beyond the craziness and stupidity
// Even when bombs explode
// All around the world.

`And I can think about some examples of all those horrible, terrible things.' She couldn't help it, but think about the bomb that killed Daniel on Colona… `But, Daniel, I'll love you beyond all that." Janet caressed his arm, enjoying the feeling of his skin.

// When I am resting against your body
// Then, there is no doubt in my mind
// Love still exists

"What are you doing, my love?" asked Daniel, opening his eyes and smiling at her.

// Love still exists

"Just looking at you, which I haven't done in a long time," answered Janet.

// Love still exists

Daniel smiled once again, and Janet smiled back.

// Just to love you once and for all
// Just to love you no matter what,
// Against the evil running around,
// killing love.

Daniel approached his lips towards Janet's lips, and kissed her. "I love you," Daniel whispered to her. "Me too," she whispered back. Then, she kissed him.

// When I am resting against your body
// Then, there is no doubt in my mind
// Love still exists

Soon, Daniel and Janet were lost in each other. They knew that their love still existed, and will exist forever.

THE END
