Aang stared into space as he stood in front of a large crowd in front of the Republic City Cemetery, at the funeral of Katara. It has been one week since it happened. Not even Sokka was messed up as Aang. Aang spoke. "Katara, I love you. You were my whole world. And now, I'm just walking around like a lost kid. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I guess I can't save everyone. If you are watching or even listening, this is for you, Katara. And only you."

Aang raised the microphone up and began to sing the song he wrote this morning.

"It's been a minute since I called you
Just to hear the answerphone
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories playing through my head
You'll never know how much I miss you
The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead (Aang was crying now)
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away (He laid a hand on the coffin)
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I could feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every mirror
I know you'll be waiting, I'll see you again (Aang wiped the tears that kept rolling down)
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away (fade away)
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I promised you I'd do this
So all of this is all for you
Oh, I swear to God you're living
Through everything, I'll ever do
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
One life for the two of us
I'll be living one life for the two of us
We'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I will hold you where my heart is (He put a fist to his chest)
One life for the two of us"

He leaned down and kissed the coffin. Aang buried Katara deep into the Earth and thanked everyone for coming. What the citizens of Republic City and his family didn't know was there will not be one, but two deaths that month.

Avatar Aang died of a broken heart that night. His sadness, guilt, and pain induced a heart attack.  His last words were, "I'm coming Katara," as he gazed at the ceiling and saw the hand of angelic Katara, reaching out to bring him home. Katara's was his home and, he was hers.

Not only was Aang the last Airbender, he was also the last Avatar.
