Song Louie wrote

This is a song Louie wrote about me when i was in hospital on life support after my transplant it makes me cry ever time i read it
LOVE YOU LOUIE

Twenty cords intertwined in as many hours
Lungs breathing and a heart beating on man made power
Whispered worries and what ifs shared in peace
At first sight it wasn’t you who was sedated completely
A body run by a lifeless product to be kept alive
An image etched forever in the deepest corners of my mind

I wanted to hear you breathe but not by machine
I wanted to talk to you but not on second hand speech

Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to feel a pulse drop?
Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to have a heart swapped?

Twenty questions in twenty seconds asked repeatedly
Heart pounding, stories and jokes distracting constantly
Hands producing sweat palm to palm as we pray
They switched you off we weren’t sure if you’d stay
You switched on after being out after your wounds were sealed
You were granted the second chance you’d craved you were healed

I wanted our eyes to lock and for you to recognise me
I wanted you to clasp my fingers I placed in your reach

Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to feel a pulse drop?
Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to have a heart swapped?

Put on your boots and leave your guardian angels at the door
You won’t need them where we’re going you’ve already got what you were fighting for

Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to feel a pulse drop?
Do you know what it sounds like to hear a heart stop?
Do you know what it feels like to have a heart swapped?
