She sang with a touch of sadness and a touch of pain, but the rest was love. She sang with so much love.

"Turn away,

If you could get me a drink

Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my aunt Marie

Help her gather all my things

And bury me in all my favorite colours,

My sisters and my brothers, still,

I will not kiss you,

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

Now turn away,

'Cause I'm awful just to see

'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,

Oh, my agony,

Know that I will never marry,

Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo

But counting down the days to go

It just ain't living

And I just hope you know

That if you say

Goodbye today

I'd ask you to be true

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you"

She smiled at Gerard and handed Frank his acoustic guitar.

"You wrote that?" Gerard asked.

She nodded and closed her eyes. Gerard grasped her hand as the heart monitor slowed down. "I love you" she whispered, gently squeezing his hand.

"I love you more." Gerard whispered back, his voice cracking and barely audible at all. She smiled and took her last breath. It happened so fast, the heart monitor's continual beep, the doctors rushing in, Gerard sobbing into her neck, the band trying to rip him off her, him screaming and crying, the doctors making them leave and slamming the door, leaving Gerard against the door watching as they unhooked the love of his life from the only things that could possibly keep her alive.

She was gone.

"Goodbye, love."
