A/N Ok, so this is my very first CSI fic! Please be nice, I've only ever written fiction for Disney shows before. But I've always absolutely adored CSI, and GSr, so please enjoy this... slightly drabble-esque, Sara-centric GSr type... thing I managed to just write. I've been thinking of writing a CSI fic for a long time, so I hope you like it! This is before they get together, by the way :)

Shining Star

Him

He pulls you close

And whispers in your ear

"You are a shining star,"

He wants to say "my"

But he can't

As that possession

Exists only in his head

He doesn't know

He cannot tell

That you wish for him to say "my" as well

You are so close

And yet so far

From becoming who you really are

He realizes that he needs you

But not, it seems,

That you need him too

He thinks, he sighs

That you could never feel the same way

Yet, for him, you gave it all away

A home, a job, a life

All at his request

And he can see the beauty in you

He feels the beat in his chest

You know, you know

That he is the best

He returns your love

But he is so afraid

Of making the wrong choices

Of going out of line

He is so conscious of the problems

That you are willing to push aside

But he cannot see the solutions

Hidden in your eyes

So as he pulls away

From you, his shining star

Your heart aches as you wish

For him to ignore the politics

For him to make the choice

You know, you know

That you could take it all

But he's just so intent

On building up a wall

You're drifting apart

But

He's never far from your heart

Nor you from his

All you desire

Is for this fire

To burn to an end

For him to take you in his arms

And whisper

"I love you, my shining star,"

But what neither of you know

Is that

That future is never far
