“I need you to breathe for me.”

“Everything you do seduces me. All you need to do is breathe and I would do anything for you.”

“I once told you to leave and not to love me,” he cried out, muffled. “I’m taking all of that back. Not because I deserve it or because I’m worthy of your love. But because I need it like the air I breathe. I need you. I need you to believe in me. I need your love to make me feel like I can be redeemed.”

“Because I need you more right now than I need to breathe.”

“I am well aware that one can't get along without domineering or being served. Every man needs slaves as he needs fresh air. Commanding is breathing - you agree with me? And even the most destitute manage to breathe.”

“You need me. You won’t stay away and you won’t let me go because, baby, you can’t breathe without me.”
