Saying this

Something from a novel I read.....of course a good and famous one....gave me the feel of me..and so I thought of putting it as is...if people would want to get some sense out of it.."You'd rather not hear it now? But I want you to hear it. We never need to say anything to each other when we're together. This is--for the time when we won't be together. I love you. As selfishly as my lungs breathe air. I breathe for my own necessity, for the fuel of my body, for my survival............."
