Death seems imminent for a character. Her grief-stricken Love Interest who has been doing the Will They or Won't They? sidestep with her decides that he'd better come clean with his feelings for her or else he'll have to live with the thought of never having said it to her.
In other cases, it's the dying person who confesses her love. Apparently, looming death is the best time to make those tragically intense romantic declarations that you cannot spit out when your love is healthy and you are, too. If nothing else, it certainly confers a clear sense of urgency.
At least half of the time, Murphy's Law holds that this can turn into a Not-So-Final Confession. The dying person will make a miraculous recovery after the confession and try to back out of what they just said. (A Last-Second Word Swap may be required to keep the Will They or Won't They? situation alive.)
This has a 50:50 chance of being subverted nowadays, but is far from being a Discredited Trope. Common subversions include the confessed-to becoming irritated that it took a death threat for the confessor to finally overcome his Cannot Spit It Out problem, the dying person faking it, or helpfully pointing out that the death bed is not the most ideal place to say those words. In some cases, the person who's about to die (or otherwise lose any chance of being with his or her beloved) will consider doing this, but decide not to for certain reasons, such as not causing undue anguish to the person he or she is going to leave behind, making this an Aborted Declaration of Love. The inversion is the Dying Declaration of Hate.
A kinkier variation of this is the "we're going to die tomorrow, and I don't want to die a virgin" mindset.
For the most part, this trope involves characters in romantic relationships. However, platonic variants also occur, most commonly in the form of declarations of familial love to a dying character's friend, sibling, parent or child.
Formerly known as Going Down with the Ship, which has now been reappropriated for the traditional (and more literal) use of that phrase.
See also Now or Never Kiss, with which this trope has some overlap.

I Shot Jesse James: An interesting variation happens here. As he dies in the street, Bob Ford proclaims his love to Jesse James, the man he killed ten years ago and thought of as his friend. The odd thing is that the Love Interest he's been chasing the whole movie is holding Bob in her arms, yet Bob doesn't make any final declarations of love towards her. This is one of many things that heightens the film's Ho Yay for many viewers.

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School: A platonic example occurrs when Chiaki Nanami says that she loves all her friends as she’s bleeding to death. Could also be viewed as a subversion as it wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary to assume she was about to confess her love for Hajime Hinata on an initial viewing.

The Empire Strikes Back: As Han's about to be frozen in carbonite in order to test whether or not the process is survivable, Leia tells him that she loves him. The original script apparently had him simply reciprocating her feelings, but the actor insisted on a different line more in keeping with Solo's Jerk with a Heart of Gold personality (while still communicating that he felt the same way):

In the spin-off series Angel episode "Hero", season one regular character Doyle goes out in a literal ''and'' figurative blaze of glory disarming a Phlebotinum Bomb, but before this Heroic Sacrifice, steals a kiss (or as it turns out, Magic Kiss) from Cordelia, and with his dying words reveals his longing to be with her. Much later, in "Not Fade Away", Illyria shapeshifts into Fred's form to comfort a dying Wesley, and they confess their love and swear to be Together in Death. However the anger and grief Illyria experiences afterwards leaves the clear implication that Illyria was also expressing her own feelings.

Arrow:
Played with in "The Climb" when Oliver Queen is leaving to have a Duel to the Death against Ra's al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins and probably one of the deadliest men in the world. He chooses this moment to calmly make a love confession to Felicity Smoak, leaving her stunned.
In "Dark Waters", Felicity is trapped in a Gas Chamber and can be seen silently mouthing "I love you" to Oliver as he desperately tries to free her (fortunately, Laurel Lance breaks the glass with her Canary Cry). Downplayed, as they've long since had a Relationship Upgrade.
In Season Four, Earth-1 Laurel Lance's last words to her First Love Oliver Queen is to tell him that she's always loved him, and that he was the love of her life. This utterly shatters Oliver, as he had never stopped loving Laurel either.

That '70s Show: According to Red Forman, this is one of three times it was okay for a man to tell another man he loved him. The other two were if they were drunk, or one of them was in big trouble and it was the only way out, which usually means he's drunk. Otherwise, it's just a given.

There's an unusual one in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 finale when Fitz, about to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to save Simmons, tries to overcome her refusal to co-operate on the basis that he's her best friend by telling her that he's come to see her as more than that. This is unusual in that the wording is ambiguous because Fitz still can't quite spit it out, though Simmons gets the message easily enough, for once, responding by planting kisses all over Fitz's face. She still refuses to let him die, but he ends up in a coma in time for the season break.

Castle:
(Warning: major S3 season finale spoilers follow!) Beckett is shot during her eulogy at Montgomery's funeral. Castle pleads with her not to leave him, then finally says "I love you," just before she falls unconscious. Her Plot Armor will save her, but only time will tell how the rest of the trope plays out.
Beckett gets her turn in the fifth season episode "Still" when she accidentally steps on a pressure-plate that triggers a bomb. When there doesn't seem to be a way to defuse the bomb, she demands that everyone else leave to avoid the explosion. When Castle is about to leave, she tells him "Castle, I love you." Castle then returns with the detonator, not wanting Beckett to face death alone. They end up pulling off a Million to One Chance to save her.

Tales Series:
Near the finale of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Decus says this to Alice right before he dies. He had taken a sword to his back to protect her, and his final words are: "Alice...you always said that I digust you...but I...I love you." This then prompts Alice to go berserk and at last admit her feelings for Decus. She dies shortly after.
In Tales of the Abyss, everyone knows it except Luke so at the final moment before they leave, Tear confesses her love. Luke doesn't seem surprised in the slightest though so he may not be as dense as he seems.

Technically, she doesn't die, but the effect is still the same as Ixpellia from StrikerS Sound Stage X tells Subaru that she loves her as she rests in Subaru's arms and falls into a deep sleep that would last for ten years... or a thousand. She wakes up less than a year later.

Some Fire Emblem characters' death quotes do briefer versions of this, mainly in the Akaneia games (Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem) where there's only one possible pairing for any given character if at all. It's also a recurring tendency for cases of lovestruck antagonists.
Prince Lyon from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a notable example. After being defeated and freed from the Demon King's control, he confeses his love for Eirika
And in the aforementioned Akaneia games, as Emperor Hardin dies in Marth's arms, he begs Marth to apologize to Princess Nyna in his (Hardin's) name for all the mess coming from his Brainwashed and Crazy-influenced Face–Heel Turn, and finishes saying that he never stopped loving her.
A slightly more indirect version of this occurs in Fire Emblem: Three Houses in the Silver Snow and Verdant Wing routes. Upon defeat, Edelgard asks Byleth, who she is heavily implied to have feelings for, to kill her. As Byleth readies his/her blade, Edelgard gets some final words in that are basically to this effect.

In the Naruto fanfiction Tale of the Kurai Kitsune, during the nine-years old Naruto's first Chuunin Exams in Iwa, an Iwa team targets his team to take out the Yellow Flash's son. Naruto's teammates Koji Inuzuka and Sakuya. Both of them gave their lives to keep Naruto alive, with Sakuya shoving Naruto out of the way of an Earth spike and taking it to her stomach as a result. She managed to tell him that she loved him in her last breaths. Naruto, having fallen for her himself, immediately began tearing through everything with the Nine Tail's chakra, and even triggered Minato's failsafe in the seal.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00:
An example where both parties are dying takes place in Episode 24, where Lichtendahl Tsery and Christina Sierra are caught in the explosion of the Ptolemaios. Just before a GN-X Mobile Suit shoots the Ptolemaios' bridge, Lichty shields Christina as the blast strikes home. After the blast, Lichty is immensely mangled and his cybernetic parts revealed. Christina realizes what Lichty did and realizes she was blind to not appreciate a guy like him. Lichty dies of his injuries first, but Christina has to lie to him that he indeed saved her, when in fact, she was stabbed in the back by a wayward shard of shrapnel. In her last moment, she begs her friend Feldt — and her fellows in Celestial Being — to change the world before the bridge explodes, vaporizing them both.
Patrick Colasour attempts to invoke the trope in the final battle. When a Gaga tries to crash into his superior and love interest Kati's ship, he promptly nails the bad guy in a You Shall Not Pass!... only for the next one to charge out of the smoke straight into him. He just smiles and says "I did really love you, Kati..." right before the Gaga explodes, provoking a Say My Name from her. Subverted in that not only the explosion didn't kill him (he's not called Colasour the Indestructible for nothing...), he later married her.

In the Tamers Forever Series, Takato has always known that Rika would kill him if he told her he loved her, but he figures since he's dying anyway, he's got nothing to lose. A rare instance of this trope that actually works.

In Penguindrum Shouma's last words double as a Dying Declaration of Love for Ringo. "Thank you... and I love you...". (Notice that Shouma straight goes for the "Aishiteru", aka one of the strongest expressions of romantic love in the Japanese language.)

Supernatural might not show the declarer actively dying, but at the moment of their imminent demise, Castiel tearfully tells Dean that it was through him that he learned to love. When a shellshocked Dean asks him why that sounds like a goodbye, Castiel confirms that it is. "I love you. Goodbye, Dean" – and shoves him out of the way as the Shadow swallows both him and Death, trapping them in The Empty forever. (Although a line in the series finale implies that he somehow got out of the Empty later on.
The same character referred to in the above spoilered-out entry actually confessed their love to the same character in an earlier scene in season 12 when they were impaled, but their "I love you" was left ambiguous enough in that scene that it could have been interpreted as them meaning it in a platonic way to the other character and the rest of their Family of Choice, unlike in the above case where there's virtually no ambiguity that they mean "love" in a romantic sense and specifically for only one person.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
Kaji drops one in his last message for Misato, which he delivers to her answering machine before heading out on a mission he believes he is not going to survive (turns out he is entirely right). He ends the message with "If I ever get to see you again, I'll say the words I wasn't able to say eight years ago." These words are, of course, strongly implied to be something along the lines of "I love you. Will you marry me?"
Misato brings the subtext between her and Shinji out in the open when she's fatally shot in the back. If it was Misato just desperately saying anything that came to mind to try and get an emotional reaction out of Shinji — who was slipping at least halfway into a Heroic BSoD at the time — while dying of blood loss and thus not thinking entirely clearly, or a sign of her feelings towards him were not entirely those of a surrogate mother or older sister towards her ward is a matter of opinion.

Katanagatari:
Episode 12 — the mortally wounded Togame asks Shichika if it's alright for her to have fallen in love with him for real, after also admitting that he was a pawn in her scheme and she meant to kill him at the journey's end.
And a completely platonic example, otherwise played straight — the last thing Togame's father told her before his execution was that he loved her very much.

Near the finale of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Decus says this to Alice right before he dies. He had taken a sword to his back to protect her, and his final words are: "Alice...you always said that I digust you...but I...I love you." This then prompts Alice to go berserk and at last admit her feelings for Decus. She dies shortly after.

The Order of the Stick:
Played with in this strip: Haley, seriously injured after being temporarily eaten by a dragon, starts to confess her secret love. Then, the party's cleric zaps her with a healing spell. Since she is no longer dying, she turns it into a Last-Second Word Swap. (The actual confession comes much later, in a much different way.)
And then somewhat played straight, somewhat averted in this strip when Elan refuses to profess false love to Therkla to convince her to resurrect later. It goes a step further: in D&D, you can always choose to fail a saving throw.

As Kaname starts crying and begging him to live, the boy asks if she'd still consider going out with him if he survives, whereupon Kaname snaps, "Not on your life!" and hangs up. "Argh!

In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision proclaims his love for Wanda before she uses her powers to shatter the Mind Stone in his forehead to keep it out of Thanos's hands, killing him in the process. However, Vision's Heroic Sacrifice turned out to be All for Nothing, as Thanos uses the Time Stone to bring him back to life, then brutally rips the Mind Stone out of his skull.
Subverted somewhat (and cruelly so) earlier in the film; Gamora, on the receiving end of an impending Heroic Sacrifice by Star-Lord to keep her out of Thanos' clutches, tells Star-Lord that she loves him more than anything. Star-Lord responds that he loves her, too, before he pulls the trigger. Instead of killing Gamora, Star-Lord's weapon harmlessly emits bubbles, thanks to Thanos' usage of the Reality Stone; this distracts Star-Lord and Gamora just long enough for Thanos to seize Gamora and teleport away with her.

In RahXephon, Ayato is fighting a Dolem — but he doesn't realize that said monster is psychically/physically linked to Hiroko, the Tsundere girl who loves him and whom he swore to help and protect. As a result, the damage to the Dolem's body reverberates to Hiroko's body, injuring her as well. What's left to do? Hiroko quickly grabs a pen and her diary, doing her best to write "Ayato, I love you... goodbye!" as she painfully and horribly dies. When the Dolem is destroyed and Hiroko finally perishes, the audience see how the backlash activates the lights in the surrounding buildings, forming the words that spell her last message to him. Naturally, the one at the receiving end doesn't take it well.

Played heartbreakingly straight in Macross Frontier episode 20. During the surprise Vajra attack in Island 1, Klan gets fed up with Michel's reluctance and pours out all her frustration in a loud declaration of love, then races to the macronization chamber to revert to her giant Meltran form. When the Vajra infiltrate the room and threaten the chamber (which would dissolve and kill Klan), Michel defends her as best as he can, only to be impaled by one of the Vajra. He holds on for a few instants more, but when the hull is breached by an explosion, he barely has time to stutter "I too lov—" at Klan before being sucked out into the vacuum of space.
In the movie, Michel survives, instead the dying declaration of love is given to... Alto, who confesses to Sheryl, before the Vajra he's on folds into space and she falls in a coma. Word of God says he returns and she wakes up, though.

Similar scenario in Farscape with Crichton and Aeryn, except they skip the words and spontaneously start making out with each other. They both blame it on the heat of the moment afterwards.
Gilina at the end of "A Hidden Memory". Though in this case, it was clear that she was in love with Crichton. She merely reaffirmed her love and asked if things had been different, could he have loved her. To which he replies "Yes".

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fic Minister of Lies has Kira basically make one to herself when she is seriously wounded on a mission to the Gamma Quadrant, only to healed by the Prophets as she passes through the wormhole. She was initially torn between her current relationship with Shakaar Edon and her recent discovery that Odo was in love with her as well, but as the Prophets heal her, one appears to her in a vision as Odo and explains that this form was chosen because it was the last thought on her mind as she expired, assuring Kira that Odo is the one she truly loves.

In Mass Effect 3, the Extended Cut has Fem!Shep telling Garrus or Kaidan she loves him as she forces him to evacuate after being badly injured during Harbinger's attack. Unlike most examples, this can be averted, but there's a 4 out of 5 chance that those are the last words she ever says to him. MaleShep's version with Kaidan is identical, but with the added context of it being the only time they ever say "I love you" to each other.

In season three finale of The Nanny. Maxwell's first confession of love to Fran was when they were on a plane that was about to crash. He takes the confession back after they get home safely. For much of season four, many characters, especially Niles, give him crap for taking back the confession.

Parodied in the second-to-last episode of Seinfeld: The plane's going down, the series is ending, and Jerry and Elaine are about to reveal their true feelings for each other... when the plane levels off. They make a safe landing, the confessions go unsaid, and the series ends in a completely different manner.

Averted in Mass Effect. If you're playing Commander Shepard as a male character and are following the Ashley romance subplot, you get this conversation immediately after the sex scene, but before you've decided whether this is a one-time 'impending-death-exception' thing or you will continue to pursue your relationship against all the various social and legal obstacles between you (You are her commanding officer, after all). All this as you're only a few minutes from dropping onto a hostile world against impossible odds to confront the boss villain:
Played straight in the Liara relationship storyline, where she thanks the Commander for everything after the sex scene.
In Mass Effect 3, the Extended Cut has Fem!Shep telling Garrus or Kaidan she loves him as she forces him to evacuate after being badly injured during Harbinger's attack. Unlike most examples, this can be averted, but there's a 4 out of 5 chance that those are the last words she ever says to him. MaleShep's version with Kaidan is identical, but with the added context of it being the only time they ever say "I love you" to each other.
A romanced Miranda will tell Shepard she loves him right before she dies (if she dies) in the Sanctuary mission.

At the end of Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, Chikane declares her love to Himeko, after being mortally wounded by Himeko herself, which was all part of her plan... a plan that hits a bit of a snag when Himeko declares her love for Chikane. That pretty much triggers a string of events that ends in a subversion of this trope as Chikane returns to Himeko after being erased from existence.

Subverted in the 5th and last Percy Jackson and the Olympians novel (before the spin-offs), when dying Luke Castellan asks Annabeth if she ever loved him. Annabeth says "There was a time...When maybe, I- I thought, perhaps..." But then she back tracks and said he was like a brother to her and she cared about him, but she never loved him. Whether or not she is to be believed is questionable.
One cries for one's brother. While at first reading Annabeth's honesty seems cruel, it may in fact be exactly what Luke wants to hear — that he hasn't broken his "little sister's" heart.

Gundam:
Stella Loussier in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny gives one to Shinn Asuka before kicking it. She even manages to say "I love you", while she was never able to use first and second person like this before.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00:
An example where both parties are dying takes place in Episode 24, where Lichtendahl Tsery and Christina Sierra are caught in the explosion of the Ptolemaios. Just before a GN-X Mobile Suit shoots the Ptolemaios' bridge, Lichty shields Christina as the blast strikes home. After the blast, Lichty is immensely mangled and his cybernetic parts revealed. Christina realizes what Lichty did and realizes she was blind to not appreciate a guy like him. Lichty dies of his injuries first, but Christina has to lie to him that he indeed saved her, when in fact, she was stabbed in the back by a wayward shard of shrapnel. In her last moment, she begs her friend Feldt — and her fellows in Celestial Being — to change the world before the bridge explodes, vaporizing them both.
Patrick Colasour attempts to invoke the trope in the final battle. When a Gaga tries to crash into his superior and love interest Kati's ship, he promptly nails the bad guy in a You Shall Not Pass!... only for the next one to charge out of the smoke straight into him. He just smiles and says "I did really love you, Kati..." right before the Gaga explodes, provoking a Say My Name from her. Subverted in that not only the explosion didn't kill him (he's not called Colasour the Indestructible for nothing...), he later married her.

Played with in The Factory Witches of Lowell — Hannah is sick with lung disease caused by the poor working conditions in the cotton mills and her health has taken a turn for the worse during the labor strike. Her best friend and strike organizer Judith asks Hannah to cast a spell that will stop their looms operating for the strikebreakers. Hannah prepares the spell even as she can barely stand or breathe, then admits her feelings for Judith while describing how they'll need to kiss in order to kickstart the magic. Turns out to be a Not-So-Final Confession, as Judith is able to save Hannah's life with an improvised medical spell.

A scene like this plays out in Interstella 5555, when Shep rescues the band and they later manage to break Stella free as well. Shep is mortally wounded during the chase and while Arpegius is taking care of him, Baryl and Octave bring Stella with them. Shep finally manages to meet the woman he loves, because before that they had never met in person, and now she's lost her memories as well. Shep confesses his love for her before he dies, and gives her and the rest of the band a MacGuffin, that will help them find a way to restore their memories.

Subverted in Angels 2200, as Hammer is unable to tell Kid about her feelings for her, largely because of their relationship as leader and subordinate. She is shown saying it when preparing to stay behind as part of a Heroic Sacrifice, but then it's revealed that it's merely what she wants to say and that she realizes that it is not the right time to do so, and she makes a face-saving line about "loving" Kid's hair. Potentially doubly subverted when it turns out that Hammer is, in fact, alive. We have yet to see where this goes in Angels 2.0.

In Last Night on Earth, the GM can invoke this, if two characters are in the same room and he has the card, he can force them to skip a turn. Often leads to Sex Equals Death, as that makes it easy to surround them with zombies so they can't escape.

Macross Delta:
Absolute Live has one between Hayate and Freyja, the latter who reaffirms her feelings for Hayate shortly before her death from crystallisation.
The lyrics of ALIVE ~Inori no Uta~ portray one being given from the perspective of the singer. Appropriately, Freyja is the one who sings it, and singing it ultimately kills her and leads to the above.

Independence Day toys with the "don't want to die a virgin" variant twice. In the first instance, after the alien ship appears over Los Angeles, teenaged Alicia Casse's then-boyfriend tries using "Do you want to die a virgin?" to persuade her to have sex with him, but is foiled by the arrival of her older brother. Later in the film, Alicia herself tells another boy that she doesn't want to die a virgin, to which he replies something to the effect of "We'll both die as virgins together." The latter scene, however, only made it into the Special Edition DVD version of the film.

In Code Geass, Shirley Fenette confesses her feelings to Lelouch as she's bleeding out through a fatal gunshot wound inflicted on her by Rolo. She lets him know that despite the knowledge that he (accidentally) killed her father and had memories erased of him (twice), she kept falling in love with him over and over again. She even says that in the event that -- and no matter how many times -- she is reborn, she will always fall in love with him again. She goes into a whole Final Speech about her love for Lulu, even as he desperately tries to will her into surviving via Geass. Tragically, he fails to save her, and her death catapults Lelouch over the Despair Event Horizon.

Joe from Tomorrow's Joe sorta does this to Youko, telling her to keep his boxing gloves. And then THAT scene comes almost immediately afterwards.

In the original Akame ga Kill! manga, Mine survived the events of the manga and settled down with Tatsumi. In the anime, however, she suffers Death by Adaptation after her Imperial Arm, Pumpkin, is destroyed while killing Great General Budo. As she lays dying, Tatsumi tearfully chastises her for not making it to the day that the Revolution wins against the Empire. This is combined with a Last Kiss before dying in the arms of the man she loves.

Father Ted In "Flight Into Terror" one of the priests confesses his love for another one because, since the plane is going to crash he believes it's now or never. Of course the plane doesn't crash, leaving to a very awkward post credit gag.

In Oshi no Ko, Ai's last words to Ruby and Aqua are "Ruby, Aqua, i love you. Ah, i'm so glad, those words were definitely not lies." Ai had lived her whole life without love and thus, didn't know if she really loved her own children. It's only a few seconds before her death that she understood that she really did love her children.

In the movie Serenity, as the crew is besieged by the ravenous Reavers, Simon finally manages to get over his lack of confidence and focus on protecting River, and confesses his feelings to Kaylee. Kaylee's response? "Hell with this, I'm gonna live!" They both do and get together.

The Unicorn Chronicles: In Dark Whispers (the original book 3), Belle and Finder are ambushed and Finder is badly wounded. his last words are to Belle, saying, "I always thought you were beautiful" before dying in her... well, not arms, as they are unicorns, but about as close as it gets.

White Sheep (RWBY): Pyrrha's last words as she is about to be executed after losing a fight are a whispered "I love you, Jaune." This saves her life. Cinder was already conflicted about killing her because Jaune asked her not to hurt any of his friends, and realizing that Pyrrha was in love with him made it worse. She might have killed her anyway, but a bunch of Grimm overheard, meaning it would get back to Salem sooner rather than later, and she wouldn't be happy with Cinder for killing one of her son's potential paramours. Cinder knocks Pyrrha unconscious and takes her to Salem instead.

Fairy Tail:
Simon does not admit his feelings to Erza until he's three seconds from dying. Subverted in that he never actually confesses to her (he just thinks it, and all his friends knew, including Erza). He did try to tell her once eight years ago but was interrupted by an attack, since he decided to tell her while she was leading a slave rebellion to save Jellal and let his own feelings for her get the better of himself in the middle of the fight.
After beating Bloodman to protect her, Gajeel is killed when he is Taking You with Me turned into magic barrier particles by him in front of Levy. After he has Panther Lilly hold her back so that she won't die senselessly trying to save him, he admits his feelings for her and thanks her for teaching him how to love. What makes it even more heartbreaking is that he is bawling his eyes out as he admits that all he wanted was to have a family and a future with her; one of the last things he tells her is that, despite everything else that has happened to him, having that future stolen from him is the most terrifying thing he has faced. Then all that is subverted when Gajeel survives anyway and starts to freak out over the fact that he will have to face Levy again.

In Fate's route, Saber admits she loves Shirou right at the end of the game. Then she fades back to her real world and falls asleep wondering if she can dream herself into Shirou's world again. She dies in her sleep.
An earlier example could be Shirou's first vocal declaration to Saber. He's been stabbed through the chest, and is about to go up against THE strongest fighter in the whole Grail War who just wiped the floor with Saber in one shot. Shirou must have known he was going to die but:

Happened in the Belgian comic Papyrus, more exactly the issue Tears of the Giant. Papyrus gets one from a Hitite princess whom he saved at the beginning, and who until then had been a massive Tsundere to him... before being kidnapped by some plotters who wanted her to spill out the secret of iron. When Papyrus found the girl, she was already dying after all the Cold-Blooded Torture, and only managed to tell him her love and thank him for being there for her before dying in his embrace. Papyrus, understandably, had an Heroic BSoD at this, and the issue finished with him carrying the girl's lifeless body away.

Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End does this pre-emptively. Knowing this is the final battle and that he is probably going to die soon, he suddenly asks Elizabeth Swann to marry him right in the middle of the fight. She initially reacts as one would expect, but quickly calls on Barbossa to perform the rites, which he does while constantly being interrupted by undead fish men. Naturally, Will dies soon after they kiss.

In Sands of Destruction, Kyrie tells Morte he loves her before dying in her arms in the Valley of Dragons. Significantly, he had told her before how important she was to him, but they were interrupted before she responded, and here again she was too concerned with the fact that he was dying to tell him she'd just had a Love Epiphany; he dies without ever knowing her feelings. But then she moves heaven and earth to resurrect him, so he's got a pretty decent clue even if she never says the word "love" to his face.

Doctor Who:
The Doctor comes close to using this trope in "The Satan Pit" with Rose. Well, maybe.
"Doomsday": Instead of impending death, it's Rose being trapped in an Alternate Universe with no chance of return. During their final communication, Rose confesses that she loves the Doctor, but the transmission ends before the Doctor can finish his reply. "Rose Tyler, I–"
"Journey's End" seems to imply he wanted to say he loved her as well when he got cut off.

Later on Brünhild, who co-engineered Siegfried's death after he betrayed her while in his mindwiped state, makes a huge declaration of her love for Siegfried before she leaps into his funeral pyre and burns herself to death with him.

Evillious Chronicles: "The Lunacy of Duke Venomania" ends with the titular duke trying to confess his love for one of the women he has wronged while dying of a stab wound, but he dies before being able to say it out loud. An answer song from the woman's perspective, however, shows she understands it.

A variation occurs in Sailor Moon. While Kunzite and Zoisite were already in a relationship, they never express their love verbally. As he lies dying in Kunzite's arms, Zoisite's last words are a tearful declaration of his affections.

X/1999
Played straight in the manga, where Seishirou's last words to Subaru as he was dying in his arms are... actually they're never properly heard, but since the Sakurazukamoris are destined to be murdered by the person they love the most (and Seishirou had done this already to his mother Setsuka), one can take the obvious guess along with everyone else.
In the anime, Sorata dies in the arms of Arashi and his last words have him reaffirming his love for her and begging her to live on.

A slightly more indirect version of this occurs in Fire Emblem: Three Houses in the Silver Snow and Verdant Wing routes. Upon defeat, Edelgard asks Byleth, who she is heavily implied to have feelings for, to kill her. As Byleth readies his/her blade, Edelgard gets some final words in that are basically to this effect.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In "The Gift", on the verge of the Scoobies' latest attempt to stop The End of the World as We Know It, Xander proposes to Anya. She calls him on it, saying he's only doing that because he knows they're all going to die and he won't have to follow through. He immediately responds that he's proposing because he knows that they aren't going to die and rather that they will succeed at saving the world again. He's half-right.
Then again, she's right in the end, as he ends up leaving her at the altar.
Also played straight in "Lover's Walk" when Xander and Willow are trapped by a villain who they believe will soon return to kill them, and have no hope of rescue. Their respective significant others then burst in with the heroic rescue, only to catch them making out.
Subverted however in "Chosen", when Buffy says this to Spike as he makes a Heroic Sacrifice.
A different take on this appears in "Go Fish" when Cordelia thinks Xander has been turned into a fish monster.
Sort of happens in "Becoming Part 2". Angel's soul is finally restored, but he still has to die to close a portal that will suck the world into hell. Buffy is completely shell shocked and overwhelmed at him being back, but then she realizes what she has to do. She kisses him, tells him she loves him, and then stabs him in the chest.
In the spin-off series Angel episode "Hero", season one regular character Doyle goes out in a literal ''and'' figurative blaze of glory disarming a Phlebotinum Bomb, but before this Heroic Sacrifice, steals a kiss (or as it turns out, Magic Kiss) from Cordelia, and with his dying words reveals his longing to be with her. Much later, in "Not Fade Away", Illyria shapeshifts into Fred's form to comfort a dying Wesley, and they confess their love and swear to be Together in Death. However the anger and grief Illyria experiences afterwards leaves the clear implication that Illyria was also expressing her own feelings.

Stargate Atlantis:
"38 Minutes": The stargate-sized ship gets stuck in the wormhole while returning to Atlantis. The episode title is the established amount of time before the gate shuts down and everybody in the ship dies. Sheppard is about to tell Weir something, but is interrupted by somebody in a "I have a plan" moment. At the end of the episode, Weir asks him what he was going to say. He claims it was "take care of each other," but Weir is obviously unconvinced.
In a later episode, "The Second Childhood", McKay confesses his love for Keller while losing his mind to Space Alzheimer's. Sadly, he doesn't remember this after he's cured.
Keller gives his words a Meaningful Echo in "Brain Storm" after he saves her from freezing to death.
When everyone thinks Rodney is about to die (or ascend) in "The Tao of Rodney":
A variation occurs in "The Lost Tribe" when Daniel Jackson is about to die after two episodes of sniping with McKay. McKay starts to tell Daniel that he respects him, only to be interrupted by their rescue. When Daniel starts to show his appreciation at the end of the episode, McKay insists he was going to say something negative, causing Daniel to exclaim "You can only give compliments to the dying?!"

MÄR, Episode 97. Snow admits she's in love with Ginta as she burns to death in his arms. In the end, she doesn't stay dead though, her soul merges with her Earth counterpart, Koyuki — essentially, the two halves become one person and get to be with Ginta at the very end.

Mal and Inara to the letter, in the Firefly episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Saffron knocks Mal out with her sedative-laced lipstick, Inara finds Mal out cold and kisses him and begs him not to die before passing out herself. And of course, when they wake up, Mal misinterprets how Inara came to be knocked out, saying "I knew you let her kiss you."

Hey Arnold!: Helga, when she's mistakenly diagnosed herself with a fatal illness, decides to confess her love to Arnold. Phoebe interrupts her at the last minute, but Arnold still looks suspicious, so she tries to cover it up with her being delirious and out of her mind. Naturally, it works, and Helga and Arnold's relationship still manages to grow from it, with Helga admitting to Arnold despite her treatment of him that she finds him an 'OK' guy, with Arnold reciprocating even that by admitting he likes her in that way too.

Star Trek: Voyager.
B'Elanna Torres confesses her love for Tom Paris when they're both floating in space with their suits having just run out of oxygen. His response is semi-subversive: "You picked a great time to tell me." Moments later they're beamed to safety. in the next episode Tom offers her the chance to take back the confession, but she doesn't and they become an Official Couple.
And the holographic Doctor confesses his love for Seven of Nine (along with several other things, like the fact that he's compiled a list of Captain Janeway's worst command decisions) when he believes that his program is about to shut down permanently. Seconds later it's repaired, leaving a very embarrassed Doc.
A platonic version occurs in "Before and After". As Kes is dying of old age, the Doctor tells her "I wish I'd told you this before, but better late than never — you're the finest friend I've ever had." Kes then jumps back to an earlier moment in her timeline and mentions this incident. The Doctor is visibly embarrassed.
In "Projections", while dying in a Lotus-Eater Machine the Doctor admits he's always wanted to tell Kes how beautiful she is. As per usual, he's just woken up in the real world and so ends up saying it to the real Kes. Only she turns out to be a Dream Within a Dream, so the Doctor is spared the embarrassment after all.
In "The 37's" the crew come across long-lost aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, who gets shot during the episode. Being unfamiliar with medical technology of the 24th Century, Fred assumes he's going to die and admits to Amelia that he loves her...only for the Doctor to tell him he'll be just fine.

In all three films of The Matrix trilogy.
Inverted in the first The Matrix, in that Trinity knows Neo can't be dead because she loves him.
Subverted in The Matrix Reloaded, Trinity says "I'm sorry" before she dies (Neo later manages to revive her).
Played straight in The Matrix Revolutions, as Trinity is dying for real this time, she tells Neo that she regretted saying "I'm sorry" rather than "I love you" before she died the last time.
