SUMMARY: Horatio thinks of a life without his love.

"There you'll be"

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

Horatio sat in his backyard, nursing a beer and letting the memories of the past three years wash over him. He was not a selfish person normally, but right in this moment he wanted his lover back with him. He remembered all the times they had spent in the exact same spot he was now sitting in.

In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

After getting ready for bed, Horatio let the tears fall as he hugged Tim's pillow close, wishing that it was him instead. As he fell into an uneasy sleep, he thought he heard the voice of his lover saying "I'm right here"


Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

Horatio dreamed of blue skies that matched blue eyes, and a love that never died. He felt loved through the night and had his first full night's sleep in weeks. When he awoke the next morning he felt rejuvenated and ready to go on, knowing that he had his own personal guardian angel.


'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

As Horatio stood at the grave site, he pulled off his sunglasses to wipe away the tears. He knew that he could go on, and that the love he held for Tim in his heart would be his strength as he moved forward, alone. Kneeling down to change the flowers, he brushed his hand over the tombstone, and said the only thing that ever came to mind when he came here, "Thank you, and baby. I'll love you forever."

The End.
