“You can contain the passion of your heart no more than I can control the breath that I take.”

“I love you more than I can say, than I can even think and what you give me takes my breath away, but breathing is overrated when I can kiss you.”

“There is talk in the village that there is more in these sewers than sewage. Yes, I say, Yes. But not only these sewers. There is more in your heart than can be spoken. More in your eyes than you will tell. More in the mind of you than anyone can know. More in the night than darkness. More in the river than can be dredged. [...]If I have secrets so do you.”

“And I can no more stop worrying about you than I can stop myself from breathing.”

“I can't control what you see or how you interpret what you see any more than I can control what you think of me.”

“I just...love you more than i can even stand, Ryan. It's...overwhelming and amazing. My heart is so full of you, i can't even breathe. You...fill me up.”
