![“If I had to choose between breathing and loving you I would use my last breath to tell you I love you. Here's my love, take it. Here's my soul, use it. Here's my heart, don't break it. Here's my hand, hold it and together we will make it forever. I was lonely and scared I asked God for an angel…” quote by IMynatot](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a6c/imynatot-8548_happy-1st-week-in-re_if-i-had-to-choose-between-breathing-and_967590.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a6c/imynatot-8548_happy-1st-week-in-re_if-i-had-to-choose-between-breathing-and_967590.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a6c/imynatot-8548_happy-1st-week-in-re_if-i-had-to-choose-between-breathing-and_967590.jpg)

> “If I had to choose between breathing and loving you I would use my last breath to tell you I love you. Here's my love, take it. Here's my soul, use it. Here's my heart, don't break it. Here's my hand, hold it and together we will make it forever. I was lonely and scared I asked God for an angel and he sent me something even better he sent me you. If I could have 3 wishes, I wouldn't wish for the stars, the moon, the riches and this life. But for 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, and 13 months a year to spend a longer time with you.”
