Love Never Dies – A Heartfelt Tribute to an Unbreakable Bond. When Goodbye Doesn’t End Love

Losing a beloved companion leaves a wound that never fully heals. The song Love Never Dies was born from such a deep, personal loss. It tells the story of a gentle giant named Lorenzo, a Great Dane who was more than just a pet—he was family. This song captures the raw emotions of saying goodbye to someone who meant the world, and the enduring connection that remains even after they are gone.

The Story Behind the Song

Lorenzo was sick for several months. His battle began long before COVID was widely understood. He had been on oxygen for 10 days straight, fighting to breathe. For a while, it seemed like he was winning. But then the illness returned, affecting his heart and lungs. The vet’s words still echo: “It’s time.” Those words shattered the hope of bringing Lorenzo home again.

The vet explained that Lorenzo had too much fluid in his lungs and that nothing more could be done. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. The vet took us to a quiet room to prepare for what was coming. I lay on the floor beside Lorenzo, holding his paw—his giant paw that always felt like a hand in mine. The vet told me everything would happen quickly and gave me a moment to say my goodbyes.

The Final Moments

Lorenzo always knew how to show affection; touch and hugs were usually his way, more than licks and kisses. He was a gentle giant, calm and very attached to me. But when the vet said those words, "If you want to say something, say it now - remember what I said, it goes really fast," I cried, overwhelmed by the pain. He lifted his head and licked my tears. That quick gesture was a powerful message - he was still there telling me that he was okay, still connected, even in his weakness. It was at that moment that I froze in time, a silent promise that love never truly leaves.

Why This Song Resonates

Love Never Dies is more than a tribute to Lorenzo. It speaks to anyone who has lost a loved one—whether a pet, a family member, or a close friend. The song reminds us that love transcends physical presence. It lives on in memories, in the heart, and in the quiet moments when we feel their spirit near.

This song was created to give voice to the grief and the hope that coexist in loss. It’s a reminder that even when we have to say goodbye, the bond remains unbroken.

How the Song Came Alive

Writing Love Never Dies was a way to process the overwhelming emotions of that day. The lyrics and melody came from the heart, inspired by the final moments with Lorenzo. The gentle paw in my hand, the unexpected lick, the vet’s calm but heartbreaking words—all these details shaped the song’s story.

Music has a unique power to heal. For me, creating this song was a way to honor Lorenzo’s life and the love we shared. It became a message of comfort for anyone facing loss, a way to say that love endures beyond goodbye.
