If I breathe I respire, though my mind gives me the desire
And if I hold my breath I'll die, like the sun in the streaky evening sky
But if my thoughts desert me then my body is a liar
For without the thoughts I think of you, I’m dead before I die.

In feelings, not in figures on a dial." Philip James Bailey Festus
