I treasure the breaths we take together, and I am stricken…
““I treasure the breaths we take together, and I am stricken with envy for them, for they mingle closer and more completely than our bodies can join. Your beauty makes me fall out of the sky and want to stay tethered to earth. Let me follow you everywhere, my love, through the lightest moments, and the darkest. I can only be happy if we share all our pain. Don’t leave me, I beg of you, for my spirit will go with you, and then I will truly become clay. He””
