Make me no promise tied to a rib cage already cracking under the pressure of someone else' breath. Breathe into me or not at all. Breathe deeply or not at all. Promise me full lungs and love or nothing at all.

I love this; how you have tied the deep emotion to something as essential as breathing is so poignant.
