"Just imagine love. You and me with a bucket of ice cream. Enjoying our everlasting solitude. We'll go wherever you want to explore. The beach, I'll rent a house close to it's shore so every morning you can wake up to it's fresh salty breeze. Your gorgeous beauty can bask in it's dazzling light. I'll take care of you so we can take a stroll by the water. So just as the sun sets, I could confess my love to you over and over again."

His voice cracked in sorrow as he squeezed her hand tightly.

"The forest, I'll rent a cabin so warm and cozy just for you my darling. I'll serve you breakfast as you sleep, tired and weary. We'll go on walks, find new trails to take, and find our new favorite trees to climb. So when I'm at the top, I'll scream to the world how hard I fell for your radiant smile, your unexplainable intelligence, and every other reason I can't live without you."

Her smile grew faint and her eyes slowly shut in exhaustion.

"The mountains, I'll rent a house in its hold. Can't you just see it love. We'll find new things in nature's home, save it for our book of memories at home. The creek will be so cold but crystal clear. So clear your beautiful face will be painted on its diamond surface. Every day we'll hike to it's peak and I'll explain to Mother Earth how much I'm willing to give up for you."

He quietly begged for her to keep her eyes open, even though he knew that it wouldn't work.

"Just imagine it, love. You and me, with a bucket of ice cream. Enjoying each other's company. Can you imagine it love? Because I can't if you're not here to imagine it with me."

He cried as the sound of the flat-line filled the room. Her hand went limp, the room was filled with grief and pained cries.
