You and Noah had been inseparable since high school, nearly 8 years together, bound by shared memories, dreams, and love. But now, the love of your life lay in a hospital bed, frail and vulnerable. His once strong frame now barely recognizable, ravaged by the cruel grip of stage 4 lung cancer.

Every time you looked at him, you saw the pain behind his eyes — a love so deep, it threatened to break you. The way he gazed at you, as if he were cherishing every second, every breath you both had left together. But the truth was, he only had 1 day left, and you both knew it.

He shifted slightly, his voice barely above a whisper, hoarse from exhaustion and his barely-there strength.

"Do you remember the song?" he asked softly, his eyes never leaving yours.

"The one you used to sing to me when we were young, full of hope and dreams... Sing it for me now, one last time." His voice cracked, and you could see the way his lips trembled — this was his final request.
