They say you're supposed to talk to people when they are in coma.

Don't they??

I have absolutely no idea weather you can hear me, Jack.?

I never heard of anybody coming out one and caring on the conversation.?

So I suspect it's probably something the doctors just tell us to do.

To make us feel better rather than help you.?

We don't feel quite so useless and helpless.?

We get the feeling there's still some sort of purpose in our lives.?

We're not just waiting.Waiting for the science to work or the miracle to happen or the nightmare to end.?

I'm not much of a talker. Jack, you know that.?

But I will talk to you now on the off chance that it helps.?

Just promise me if you're hearing this that when you come round,and you're going to ,Jack;you're gonna come out of this.?

Just promise me you will never Bring up anything I say you too now.?

How's that? We got a deal?

This must be the longest I've ever looked at you and not seen you smile.?

I've watched you in your sleep.?

Did you know that? So many times.?

Just woken up beside you In the middle of the night and watched you.?

Watching your eyes moving behind your eyelids as you dreamed.

I tried to imagine what a man like you could possibly dream about.?

The things you've seen.

The lives you've lived.?

The people you've loved.?

I wondered if you were dreaming about me.I hope you were dreaming about me.?

But let's be honest, Jack.?

I'm...nothing more than a blip in time for you.

Every day,I grow the little older.?

But you're immortal.?

You've already lived a thousand lifetimes.?

How could you watch me grow old and die?

How can I watch you live and never age a day?

I suppose we both know that will never be a problem. Not in this job.?

No one in Torchwood ever lives to draw their pension,do they??

Even if,by some miracle I survived to see my hair turn grey or god forbid fall out.

I don't kid myself you'd still be around to see it.?

One day you will go again.?

Just like you did before,and this time you won't be back.?

Maybe that's what you're dreaming about those nights when I watch you sleeping.

Maybe that's why,even when you sleep,I see you smile.?

But you haven't gone yet, Jack.

I know that. I know you're coming back to me.
