For Emily (Tiva4evaxxx)


Can I tell?
Is it safe yet?
Does she feel for me?

I don't know
Maybe it's too soon
But if she slips from my grasp...

Ziva, barley a whisper
Across the empty room
Yet she heard

Puzzled to hear her name
Nobody had spoken
She turned fully round

Battle scars ruined her perfect face
But they will disappear in time
She'll always be beautiful to me

It was now or never
Could I really do it?
Could I take the rejection
That was sure to follow

I knew I had to try
See if she really cared
To see once and for all

"I love you",
A whisper again
Couldn't bring myself to raise my voice

I know, and I you
Her tender voice reached for me
gentle words holding me in their bliss

Never again would the words
Torture and taunt me
She loves me
It's all that matters
