Lost The Word

While watching Love Actually, the Colin Firth story line where he falls in love with the Portuguese girl...
Me: Oh, I love this part.
Kristen: Me too.
Me: Language and Love, it like, go past. Love, go past. Goes past...
Kristen: Transcends. Is 'transcends' the word you were looking for?

Not a good moment for me as an English Major.
