Again something we talked about at school. The idea of turning off somebody's life support machine whilst they are still alive and maybe can hear and know everything that is going on.

I can’t hear you

Not properly hear you

I can’t really do that now

But I know what you’re saying

Of course I know what you’re saying

It’s obvious what you’re saying

You’re talking to me now

I don’t really hear you

But I know you

I still know you

That’s enough right?

You do know I know you

And I’m definitely getting better

Yes of course I’m getting much better

I’m sleeping much much better

Sleeping is good for you

You said that right?

I can hear you

Well not really

Not really hear you

But I know you did say it

I would have said it if I was you

We can talk about this when I wake up

When I can talk properly to you

We can talk about all of it

So I can remind you

It is true really

I’m not gone

I’m awake

I’m alive

Please

Don’t

Give

Up

On

Me
