A/N: OMG YOU CAME STRAIGHT FOR MY EMOTIONS! My heart has been hearting and broken all day so thank you for making me cry! I hope you like it!!! I cried writing this!!

You put all your faith in my dreams You gave me the world that I wanted What did I do to deserve you?
I follow your steps with my feet
I walk on the road that you started
I need you to know that I heard you, every word

You and Tom have been friends since well who could remember, Haz and Zendaya even had a bet that he was going to ask you out someday. You believed in him and helped him accomplish his dreams when he told you he was going out for Spider-Man. You knew he could and he didn't know what he did to deserve someone as unique as you. You helped him with everything and he paid it back the night he thanked you at the premiere of Spider-Man Homecoming. Which was also the same day you were diagnosed with stage four leukemia.

I've waited way too long to say
Everything you mean to me
In case you don't live forever, let me tell you now
I love you more than you'll ever wrap your head around In case you don't live forever, let me tell you the truth I'm everything that I am because of you

When you told him, he stayed by your side every chance he got. He spent days trying to figure out ways to tell you how much he loved you. You spent days either feeling amazing or just in the dumps not able to keep much down due to your treatments. He still was there, you laughed at videos of him trying to keep himself from spoiling Infinity War. He still thanked you in every interview at the premiere of Infinity War. He knew everything he was, was because you believed in him for so long.

I, I've carried this song in my mind Listen, it's echoing in me
But I haven't helped you to hear it We, we've only got so much time I'm pretty sure it would kill me
If you didn't know the pieces of me are pieces of you

He finally told you after the press tour for Infinity War and he was on a break. He loved you, you were feeling better and doing better. You knew your days were shortened and so did he. He spent most of his break from filming and acting with you, Harrison even stopped by a few times. You were two peas in a pod, pieces of a whole.

In case you don't live forever, let me tell you now
I love you more than you'll ever wrap your head around In case you don't live forever, let me tell you the truth I'm everything that I am because of you
I have a hero whenever I need one
I just look up to you and I see one
I'm a man 'cause you taught me to be one

You were growing sicker and you knew you were going to die soon. You accepted it when you were diagnosed two years ago. Tom knew it too, even if he still couldn't accept it. He told you countless times how much he loved you. A few months before Tom left for filming you passed away. Tom was a mess, he loved you so much. He spoke at your funeral, sharing how you were a hero, and you taught him to be a man. You were always a part of him and no one could take that away not even heaven above.

A/N: You're welcome! Sorry if you cried. Don't forget you can always request imagines like this💛
