I was the fire you lit at night when the cold reached your lips.

The crackle of a fire was the sound of my voice when I told you I loved you.

And the heat was the comfort you gave me, until you told me you liked water better.

"The green garden, it was green.

It was really big too, it had a lot of green plants, beautiful and healthy.

But there was always one that was gonna die before the others.

One that starts to die without you even knowing it. But until it starts to go brown and crumple up, that's when you know it's basically dead.

See that's what it's like with people, they're all green and healthy or in this case happy.

They look so alive, happy and healthy.

But then one in a whole green garden is dying without you even noticing it.

But once they are all crumbled up and brown and ready to throw out. That's when you know they are dead and that's when the truth comes out that they were dying, that this one human in this whole green garden was dying on the inside until now. They are lying in that hospital bed with the other green plants from that garden, and that last beep and

"Time of death 11:11pm, date 3rd of May 2017".

That's when those other green plants from that green garden start to die on the inside too."
