- MIA breathing:
It would be wonderful to say that I learned this the first moment my eyes cast upon her magnificent beauty--but that is not the case. The first time I saw her was rather ordinary. What I remember the most is the sun; it was about to set. There was a yellow dew clouding everything, even her face. This catch-my-breath breathing was not experienced until years later. It can be described as a moment when your brain ceases to think, and all your medulla oblongata can manage to do is make your heart beat. This level of breathing only lasts for fractions of a second, but it can feel like forever--maybe because your brain checked out. This type of breathing I learned whenever she surprised me. I don't mean holiday-gift surprise me, but the special kind--like having her kiss me for the first time because she wanted to. Or hearing her cry for the first time because I harnessed the ability to hurt her. For that, I am forever sorry, darling. Perhaps others have tried to teach me to catch my breath, but none of done it as successfully as she. - Steady-breathing:
I'll admit that this breathing is very difficult to learn, and I have yet to perfect it. This breathing is required when my emotions are rolling into a great typhoon, but I want my face to appear as serene as cherry blossoms drifting on a warm spring's day. Often, it is necessary to use this method of breathing in order to maintain the situation. Situations include when we are rationalizing with one another or when I am on the phone and she is nearby. Kwok Kwok. I suppose only she would understand that allusion. Learning to breathe this way will help me improve as a person, and would definitely prove most beneficial as I grow older. - Love breaths
This is when we start to kiss and allow our fingers to...get your mind out of the gutter. It is using your fingers to caress the other's cheek or laying gentle kisses around the other's face. When you look at the other person and you smile. Not because you are thinking about something happy, but because you feel absolutely joyous from every fiber of your being. There is no thinking involved. You just wallow in the other's presence and feel completely content. You watch the way her eyes squint when she looks at you. The way the left corner of her mouth raises just a little higher than the right when she smiles at you. Every little detail becomes precious. The breathing involved in this process is very cathartic. Very deep, long breaths that seem to fill your whole body up. You can't help but sigh and turn away at the end for fear of the other person's expression changing. Breathing in this manner is wonderful. Thank you, my love, for bringing so much into my life.

Learning to breathe
Someone very important in my life wondered why there was not more of my page devoted to her. Well, here it is, darling. This post will be devoted to exploring the different ways in which I have learned to breathe because of her.
