A/N: Peter's birthday is in December instead of August for plot convenience.

Peter sat down on the piano bench and delicately caressed the ivory keys with his fingertips. 

It's been five months. Why does it still hurt so much?

Ever since Aunt May had died, Peter hadn't been able to play. After three months, he had started coming into this room to try and lose himself in music every day, but every single time had ended the same, with him looking at the piano for hours, tears silently streaming down his face.

It just hurt so bad.

Thankfully, none of the Avengers knew about any of this, so they didn't see Peter this way- without any will to mask the sorrow that seemed to appear whenever he was alone . He smiled sadly as he looked at the pianos ivory keys, just waiting for him to play them.

He missed her so much. Every now and then, he accidentally called out to her before realizing that she can't hear him anymore. She had died so young, killed because she tried to stop two men from mugging a young girl.

Why didn't you call me May?

Even though she was gone, he still felt her presence, not like a ghost, but in himself. She wanted to be with him every step of the way, but she couldn't anymore. So he remembered May for her, so that she would be able to stay with him forever.

Gently, he let his fingers slide over the keys as he finally poured his soul out.

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

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

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

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 favourite 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
One life for the two of us
