Thoughts of you
I
hope you're doing fine out there without me
'Cause I'm not
doing so good without you
The
things I thought you'd never know about me
Were the things I
guess you always understood
I wish I were a stronger man, a man willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he loves. She is willing to give her life to me, and as the man I am now, I find myself undeserving of someone so beautiful, so intelligent, so kind.
So
how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only
see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…
I find myself repeating the cliché that office romances never work over in my head, but that's the problem- my heart isn't listening. I have known the sorrows of unrequited love; as Oedipus put it "of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love but love in vain." Now I have the chance to feel the joy that is true love with someone who, I have to admit, I have desired for years. The only person stopping me is me.
And
everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It
could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right
here by me.
I know she won't be available for long, I'm not sure which would be worse- the idea that she won't wait for me or that she won't.
I
can't take another day without you
'Cause baby, I could never
make it on my own
I've been waiting so long, just to hold
you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
It's always hard but always tempting to imagine us together, either as lovers or as husband and wife. It's a life beyond my reach. Perhaps this won't always be the case. Maybe one day I'll be able to let Sara into my life.
Sorry
I can't always find the words to say
But everything I've ever
known gets swept away
Inside of your love…
I keep telling myself that I can't wait for Grissom forever, but as usual I never listen. Forever is what my life would be without him. As I've told him before, he'll always be more than a boss to me.
And
everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It
could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right
here by me.
He is so conflicted and shut out about his feelings, like he feels guilty for having them. I know part of the reason is that he's afraid to lose his job, but that can't be all of it, there's something deeper within him.
As
the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When
you're not here
Worse, I know there's never going to be anyone else. I tried dating Hank to get over Grissom, but that didn't end well. It was doomed before it started, and I knew that- again, I just didn't want to listen.
Sorry
I can't always find the words to say
Everything I've ever
known gets swept away
Inside of your love
It's always hard but always tempting to imagine us together, either as lovers or as husband and wife. It's a life beyond my reach. Perhaps this won't always be the case. Maybe one day Grissom will let me into his life.

Right

"Since when did you start believing in beauty?"
"Since I met you"
And
everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It
could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right
here by me.
"Do you trust me?"
"Intimately."
