"Collins hold on honey." Angel cried as she wiped a piece of ice on her lover's lips.
"Baby I can't, not for much longer." Collins whispered his voice becoming barely audible.
Angel's heart beat faster and faster as her eyes began to well up. The love of her life was slowly slipping away right before her eyes. .
"Stay with me just a little longer. Please Collins." Angel begged a tear slipping down her cheek.
"I'll try for you baby. "Collins replied trying to smile.
"Just don't leave me, not yet."
"Angel, you mean so much to me but I'm afraid your going to have to let me go and face this fate of mine. " Collins told her as he wiped tears from her face.
"I can't and I won't. I love you. I am not going anywhere. I will stay here until you die. Your not going to make me leave." Angel said stubbornly.
Collins smiled turning away from Angel as he now felt like crying.
"Baby, I know how you feel. You don't want me to abandon you, but it's not like that. I'll always be there. In everything you do, everything you say, every tear you cry, every dream you have. I will be there with you no matter what. Just remember that your never alone. " Collins said turning back to his love.
Angel sighed and rubbed her hand across her lover's pale face.
"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love but I know you can rent it, a new lease you are my love." Angel sung to him trying not to start crying.
"On life, all my life." Collins sung back in a whispering tone.
"I've long to discover something as true as this is." Angel continued as the tears began to run down her cheek. She took Collins hand in hers and laced their fingers together.
"So with a thousand sweet kisses I'll cover you." Collins replied still whispering.
Angel wiped a tear that fell down Collins' face. She could tell he was suffering. She also knew that he was only staying alive for her. It was time that she let go.
"Its ok mi amor, you can go. I'll be fine" Angel told him sadly.
The grip that Collins had on Angel's hand began to lessen more and more with each passing moment. Finally it was broken and Angel knew in her mind that Collin's was gone. Angel held Collins tightly to her chest not wanting to let go. She went into a trance as she stared at the white hospital walls. She was trying to remember all the good times her and Collins had together. Finally she came out of the trance and let go. Standing up she kissed Collins on his forehead and mad her way out of the hospital.
