Liam Payne planned to spend the rest of his life with Kate Cassidy. The “Strip That Down” singer, who passed away following a fatal fall, promised the social media influencer to marry her and live happily ever after.

On Wednesday, October 23, Kate made use of her Instagram page to share a heart-wrenching tribute after Liam’s tragic dєath. In a lengthy message, she wrote, “I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can’t put into words. I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now.”

The social media personality went on to say, “You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone-millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. You are so incredibly loved. You are – because I can’t say were – my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into.”

Kate then expressed her grief, “None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things.”

“Liam, you had the kindest soul and the most fun-loving spirit,” the 25-year-old blonde beauty further shared what she loved about the former One Direction singer. “It feels like I’ve lost the best part of myself. I can’t imagine a day without your laughter and love. You brought so much light into my life.”

Kate additionally revealed Liam’s plans for their future together. She recalled, “A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together. I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, ‘Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.’ ”

“Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned,” she added. “You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go. Forever yours, Katelyn 444.”

Liam, who had been dating Kate for nearly two years at the time of his dєath, passed away on Wednesday, October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On October 20, Kate stepped out for the first time since his dєath. Ditching her makeup, she was seen purchasing pet supplies at a local store in Florida with two friends and her dog.
