TW: major character death and it's really sad.

It's late and I'm tired so I haven't properly read this through and, in all honesty I've heard this song once but I like the lyrics so

"Dan, I can't sleep." Phil mumbled, holding Lion against his chest. I smiled softly, gesturing for him to join me and lay next to me in my bed.

"Do you want me to sing you a song?" I offered. I knew how Phil loved calming music and he always told me that he found my voice very soothing.

"Please?" Phil laid his head against my pillow and closed his eyes, listening to my soft voice.

"Honey you are a rock, upon which I stand and I come here to talk. I hope you understand that green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you and how could anybody deny you..." I sang, watching Phil as he drifted to sleep.

I smiled softly, pulling him close as I laid down too. I fell asleep with the man in my arms.

The day we brought our child, Dylan, home for the first time was the best day of my life. I remember, I laid him down in his cot, thinking how adorable he was.

Phil was beside me and we both watched our child drift to sleep.

That night, Phil couldn't sleep due to his excitement. So I, as usual, sang him his song.

"I came here with a load and it feels so much lighter now I met you and honey you should know that I could never go on without you. Green eyes..."

Phil quickly drifted asleep.

Phil had been sick for a long time. He was on his death bed, his heart meekly beating and his energy level very low.

Dylan was only eight. The poor boy didn't really understand.

The doctors warned us that there wasn't much time left and I cried. Dylan just looked confused.

"Dan," Phil's raspy voice whispered. "Sing to me. I think.. I think it's time."

I nodded, swallowing thickly. I took his hand into my own, trying my best not to break down.

"Honey you are the sea upon which I float and I came here to talk. I think you should know that green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find and anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind.
Because I came here with a load and it feels so much lighter since I met you and honey you should know that," The tears were welling in my eyes as I watched Phil's eyes close and I forced out the line, "I could never go on without you."

The heart monitor went flat and I just sobbed.

-

I couldn't sleep that night so I hummed the song which used to help Phil sleep. Instead of acting as a lullaby, it just made me breakdown.

I heard a tiny voice say my name and I looked up, wiping away my tears.

"I can't sleep, dad." Dylan mumbled, clutching onto his teddy. He walked over to my bed and laid down next to me.

"I can sing to you, if you want."

"Please, dad? I miss papa."

"I know you do. I do too." I swallowed, preparing myself for the song which would definitely make me break down. "...Because I came here with a load and it feels so much lighter since I met you and honey you should know that I could never go on without you.."

A tear dropped down onto the sleeping child and I wiped it away. I smiled softly to myself, mumbling the final line, "Honey you are the rock upon which I stand."

I don't really know what this is and I don't feel like it's all that great but oh well it's a one shot I guess

Can I just say that you are all so nice and wonderful

How do you make yourself happy when you're sad?

I talk to my girlfriend, write stories, listen to music and watch YouTube ^-^
