Hard To Love

Wedding Part Two

Gerard POV

I was speechless. Not only am I marrying the most beautiful woman in the planet, but the song she wrote for me was astonishing.

"That was very beautiful, Y/N. Gerard, you may go now." Ray passed the guitar over to Frank and went back to his spot.

"I began writing this song before we were even together, though it has always been about you. You have kept me going without even knowing you've done so. When I felt hopeless, you always relit that spark of hope in me." I wiped the tears off of her left cheek. "The title of the song is how I truly feel about you. This is called The Only Hope For Me Is You."

Frank began strumming the chords we finally decided on. I held her right hand in my left one and began singing to her. The song I've always wanted to sing to her.

Remember
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me

Where, where will we stand?
When all the lights go out
Across these city streets
Where were you when
All of the embers fell
I still remember them
Covered in ash
Covered in glass
Covered in all my friends
I still
Think of the bombs they built

I slid my hand up her arm and rested it under her chin, making her look at me.

If that's the best that I could be?
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

Tears slowly slide down her face as she smiled brightly. I gently wiped them away, trying not to ruin her makeup.

How it should be
Many years after the disasters that we've seen
What we have learned
Other than people burn in purifying flame
I'll say it's okay
I know you can tell
And though you can see me smile
I still
Think of the guns they sell

I pulled her close to me, wrapping my arm around her waist. God, I love this woman.

If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

The only hope for me
The only hope for me is you
The only hope
For me is you
The only hope
For me is you
The only hope
For me is you
The only hope

I let my forehead rest on hers as I continued, the action making her smile even bigger.

If there's a place that I could be
Than I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

I backed up and got one one knee like I had the night I proposed. As I looked into her eyes, I saw my future. She is all I will ever want and more.

The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you alone

I kissed her hand and stood back up.

Remember me
Remember me
Remember me

I let out a deep breath as the song ended. Just like they did for her, everyone applauded. Y/N and I cried together. I was certain they weren't tears of sadness.

"Beautiful, Gerard." He smiled at me, "May we have the rings?" Y/N's nephew walked forward, holding the pillow up. I grabbed hers and she grabbed mine.

"With this ring, I ask you to be mine. Forever." I said as I slid the ring on her delicate finger.

"With this ring, I ask you to be mine, forever." She followed as she slid mine onto my left ring finger.

"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Way. Gerard, you may kiss the bride." I grabbed both sides of her face and kissed her with all of the love in my body.

I don't necessarily believe in Fate, but she makes me want to believe in anything and everything. She helped me believe in myself when no one else did. She's always believed in me, even in the beginning.

"I love you." We said simultaneously as we pulled away.
