Que celle que tu aimes N'était qu'une étincelle
➔ Relative clause with subjunctive mood

Retour à l'essentiel
➔ Nominal group detailing abstract concept
➔ This is a prepositional phrase "à l'essentiel" (to the essential), where "l'essentiel" is an abstract noun used idiomatically to mean "the basics".
-
C'est moi que tu aimes
➔ Cleft sentence with relative pronoun
