You know I love you…

A/N: Post EP: Goodbye and Good Luck.

Was it all a dream, a waste of time? If she loved him why did she have to say goodbye? Gil understood the need for space to fight "ghosts" Why didn't she say anything? He would never know the answer. He could have held her.. he could have.. he could have what? There was nothing he could do, but love her enough to let her go. Knowing you are useless to the one person who needed you the most. Describing the feeling is difficult, but it can be done. It's like being kicked in the chest, being nervous shaking throwing up and crying all at once. Tonight he was going home to a house not home his home was out in the world fighting demons and ghosts . He'd miss her smile the way she looked when he was being obtuse and she was getting tired of it. He'd ache for the feel of her skin the way her eyes watered when they came together. For now he'd let her have her space and pray to everything he held dear that his Sara would come back to him.

The bed is empty

I sit here thinking you'll be home

I know you won't be

Oh honey where did you go

Will you forget me

How will I know

Do I fight for Fate or let it come to me

Please God tell me

I close my eyes I see you in my dreams

I pray not to sleep

Please God bring her back let me love her

I can't breathe

Let her know love

Please make her remember

I pray to you, Mother Mary

Gil Grissom
