AN: Hey guys, I started up using these lyrics (which mean a great deal to me) as a Bones fic and then as I was going through I thought to myself; this would make an amazing (if not cliché) Nick/Greg so, here you are, let me know what you think.

Warnings: Slash, Character death, OOC. Lyrics are typed from memory.

1000 Words

I don't want to be the other one anymore; I'm tired of hiding what we are.

I know that you're hiding things, using gentle words to shelter me. Your words were like a dream.

You told me a million times you were leaving her. You never did, you never will, and yet I still let the mental picture form. You and I, a little place on the outskirts of the city, a dog, and hell sometimes even kids.

But dreams could never fool me. Not that easily.

Ah yes the gorgeous dreams that are only that. I'm far from stupid Nicky; don't waste your breath with the lies every time you leave me.

I acted so distant then, didn't say goodbye before you left. But I was listening.

I stopped watching your retreating back, it only made the pain worse. I stopped saying goodbye, and now I'm sorry I pretended not to hear you when you left that night.

You'll fight your battles far from me, fought to easily.

I hated you going into the field while I was in the lab. I was tired of pretending I wasn't falling apart whenever something went wrong. I struggle every time that call came in but you always went back so easily.

Save your tears cause I'll come back, I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door. But still I swore to hide the pain as I turned back the pages.

You left the apartment early that night, she was back. I didn't even notice the tear shed until I heard your footsteps approach me instead of the door. You sat on the floor in front of my seat on the couch. Your hand grabbed mine and I looked up. You wiped my tears with your other hand.

"Greggo, I'll be back, I'm yours remember?"

And despite the fact that I nod, I promise myself that these are the last tears I shed because of you.

Shouting might have been the answer, what if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart.

I could have screamed and fought your every step toward the door. I could have pleaded, begged, wailed for you to take the night off, extend what little time we got together. But of course I didn't and you left for work, for her once again.

Now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart.

It's amazing how it took seeing you pale and losing your fight for it to fall apart. I finally laid everything out on the table, how much I love you, how much you hurt me, but there was still so much left unsaid when you left us; one of them being the apology for telling your flight attendant wife exactly how you 'missed' her while she was gone.

So 1000 words call out thorough the ages and fly to you, even though I can't see I know they're reaching you. Suspended on silver wings.

So now I spend all my free nights by your grave;

Nicholas Stokes

Brother, Lover, Best-friend

Forever in our Hearts

She chose the words, turns out she had her theories all along, and we still talk. But Nicky there are so many things the world left unsaid, that I left unsaid.

And it's nights like this one when the rain comes pouring down from the midnight sky that I know every word is reaching you. Yes, I know all about the Scientifics of rain but still I believe your crying with me.

And 1000 words, 1000 embraces, will cradle you, making all of you weary days seem far away.

So I let my mouth and brain take off for a while, wishing for one more embrace, to hold you until the world is right again and you're with me once more.

They'll hold you forever.
