Do atoms or molecules fall in love? They can behave as if they do. In certain situations, atoms that were together can still affect each other when they are far apart with no apparent means of communication. They have become inextricably linked. It's called quantum entanglement.
If you listen very, very carefully, shut out all the external noise, in the deepest dark and despair you will hear my heart beating. You'll feel it too. Sometimes it flutters, but you don't need to worry about that. If you listen very, very carefully, behind all the other sounds you will hear my feet stepping beside yours. They aren't sure-footed but are still there, running and walking alongside you every mile.
It might be comforting, it might be the opposite. You don't have to like it. You can always not listen and drown out the noise with everything on the surface, although that will become ever more difficult as you tire. Nevertheless, the heartbeat and footsteps will be there and neither you nor I get to choose.
