“I just want to breathe”

“I need one of those chapter breaks. I just want to catch my breath, but I have no idea how.”

“Just you,' Hardy said when he got his breath back. 'All I want is you.”

“And so an awful confusion begins to collect, forming a cloud that sits around an absence of hope. Desperate sensations. Can't breath. Panic. Just trying to catch my breath, but I can't breath. I hurt so much, and I'm so tired that I don't even want to breath the breath I'm gasping for. There is no more. This is the most. It's just pain, channeled in one direction, using you as its host.”

“I have never wanted anyone like I want you. There’s nothing you can do wrong when just breathing makes everything right.”

“ I want to hold my breath for as long as it takes.I want to stop breathing just long enough to know what it would be like to be totally sitll. Like being a cough away from death.Not really there- not really here.”
