This is my first RENT fic so be kind!

Angels POV

To loneliness of nights so long
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shined from up above

I never thought I would find anyone who would love me. I mean who would want to love a 20 year old AIDS infected drag queen who drummed for spare change on the streets for a living? I was so sure that I would end up alone with no one to care about me when I'm gone.

Then like the sun shined from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me

I never knew why I went into that alley Christmas Eve, but now I'm thankful each day I did. I was pretty sure that we would go our separate ways after that night, and once again I'd be back to where I was…alone. But I was wrong. After that night my whole life changed.

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
The kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that'll never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give and won't let go
I hope you'll always know

These last 10 months have been the best months of my life. I never felt better than when I was with you. You knew I didn't have much time, yet you still wanted to stay, still wanted to love me. I'm only 20 and don't have much to say about my short life. But I met you and I wouldn't give these last few months up for 10 more years to live. Although in a few weeks or less I'll be gone, I just wanted to let you know how much you've meant to me.

You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time

Even though I won't be here to greet you when you come home, or see your face when I wake up every morning, remember I'll always be in your heart. You'll always have the memories of us dancing in the street New Year's Eve, the nights with the gang at the Life, and just those quiet nights with just you and me in our apartment lying in each others arms.

I love you Tom Collins

You will always be
My everything
