Spoiler Info: Song Fic based on "The Reason" by Hoobastank

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own anything having to do with NCIS.

A/N: This is my first Navy NCIS Fan Fic... so bear with me.

Kate was driving home from her last day at work at NCIS when she heard a song that made her think about her boss, Jethro Gibbs and why she left.

"I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know"

She wasn't a perfect person and she definitely knew that. She never meant to cause him any pain, but her feelings were too much to handle. She knew he didn't feel the same way, but she needed him to know how she felt.

"I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new
and the reason is you"

She had changed for him. All though now it didn't matter, he had proven to her that he didn't feel the same way about her as she did about him.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear"

She would live with that feeling for the rest of her life. The feeling of regret for hurting him like she did, it would never go away and she knew it. She wished more than anything that she could take it all away. She wished that he would let her be the one to be there for him. She needed him to know before she left.

"I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you"

She had shown him the side that no one else got to see. He was her reason for waking up every morning. She loved him and it killed her to know that he didn't feel the same.

She would always regret leaving him, but she knew that she couldn't go through life seeing him everyday and knowing that she couldn't have him. Even though he was her reason.

Hit the button... U know u want to. Should I continue?
