“Side by side, breath for breath, beat for beat.”
“If you cannot breathe, I will breathe for you. If your heart will not beat, mine will beat harder. If you do not live, neither will I.”
“In the beat of a heart, the suck of a breath, you are the universe.”
“My heart beats as much as I can breathe.”
“Inhale when I inhale. Exhale when I exhale. Breathe with me,for two beating hearts breathing one breath together become one.”
“I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!”
