Disclaimer: I do not own any characters and I don't own the song….it belongs to the very talented, the gorgeous Kenny Chesney and the song is called "Who You'd Be Today" and it's a very beautiful song (makes me cry every time but well worth it)
Spoilers: About this time I suppose
Pairing: Tate all the way! Kate is gone but not forgotten
WHO YOU'D BE TODAY
Tony DiNozzo walked toward the familiar headstone and sat down in front of it, holding a single rose in his hand.
"Hi Kate," he began, "how ya doin'?"
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
"I'm doing OK, I guess."
I feel you everywhere I go
"Everyone else is doing well. Ari's dead, if you didn't know."
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
"We got a new agent. Her name is Ziva David. Abby doesn't seem to like her, you probably wouldn't either."
Still can't believe you're gone
"I miss you so much."
It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that had just begun
But death, tore the pages all away
"We got a new director as well. Jen Shepard. She's pretty hot…for an older woman, that is."
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
"Gibbs finally allowed Ziva to use your desk. He didn't allow anyone for a long time to even sit there. He even made Paula Cassidy sit at a desk hidden out of view from us. Guess you know how she reacted to that."
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today
"It's not the same though. Ziva does OK with what she has but, she's no you Katie. Every time I look at that desk I expect to see you, and when I don't, well, it breaks my heart."
Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
"I think about you all the time. I think about how we could've had a future, you and I."
Settle down with a family
"We could've been something great, Katie."
I wonder what would you name your babies
"I know if you were here you'd probably laugh in my face but, I think you felt differently about me. Isn't that why you lied about having the plague so you could stay with me?"
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
"You didn't think I knew about your little lie, but I found out. McGee told me after…well, you know."
And I know it might sound crazy
"Thank you for staying with me. I was so scared that day and, just seeing your face was enough to get me through."
It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that
had just begun
But death, tore the pages all away
"You may not believe it, Kate, but you were really special to me, and not just in a co-worker way. You meant so much to me."
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
"You know Kate, I uh, I want to say something to you, that I've wanted to say since I first set eyes on you…."
Just knowing, no one could take your place
"You're so beautiful, Katie…"
Sometimes I wonder
"And I just wanted to say…"
Who you'd be today
"I love you."
Today Today
Today Today
Today Today
"I miss you every second of every day and, I don't know how I'm living without you."
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
"Well, I better go. I'm in town for a few days so I'll be back tomorrow."
The only thing that gives me hope
"I miss you so much, Katie."
Is I know
"But I'll see you soon."
I'll see you again someday
Tony wiped the tears from his eyes…
Someday
Put the rose he was holding in front of Kate's grave…
Someday
And walked away.
