Time To Say Good-bye

Disclaimer: The characters belong to DPB, I guess and the song used in this fic belongs to Michelle Branch. The song is Good-bye to You.

Of all the things I've believed in…

I just want to get it over with.

Tears form behind my eyes…

But I do not cry

Counting the days that pass me by…

Tony stood over by Kate's casket. The funeral was over and it was time for one last good-bye. He stood their as all the memories came flooding back of the two of them. He had never told anyone but Kate was his best Friend. Finally he was able to put what he wanted to tell her into words.

"Kate I loved you from the moment I met you and I wish I could've told you. I was going to tell you the day you got shot but I never got the chance. I failed you Kate, I promised myself a long time ago that I would protect you no matter what it took, but I couldn't. I keep hearing all the reasons why you had to die but it's really getting old. The truth is you didn't have to die that day."

I've been searching deep down in my soul.

Words that I'm hearing

Are starting to get old…

It feels like I'm starting all over again…

The last three years were just pretend

And I said

Good-bye to you…

Good-bye to everything I thought I knew.

You were the one I loved…

The one thing that I tried to hold onto…

"You were the most beautiful person I have ever known, you didn't deserve this. Sometimes I find myself wishing Ari would've shot me too that way we could be together." Tony continued. "It's not fair Kate." His eyes filled up with tears.

I still get lost in your eyes…

And it seems I can't live a day without you.

Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away.

To a place where I am blinded by the light, but it's not right.

Good-bye to you…

Good-bye to everything I thought I knew.

You were the one I loved…

The one thing that I tried to hold onto…

Tony wiped away his tears and told her "Don't worry about me Kate, I'll be fine it's just going to take some time. I know someday we'll be together again. Just know that I love you and always will."

And it hurts to want everything and

Nothing at the same time…

I want what's yours and I want what's mine…

I want you but I'm not giving in this time.

"Good-bye Kate." Tony whispered and went back to join his coworkers, never looking back.

Good-bye to you…

Good-bye to everything I thought I knew.

You were the one I loved…

The one thing that I tried to hold on to…

The one thing that I tried to hold on to…

And when the stars fall…

I will lie awake…

You're my shooting star.
