Things Left Unsaid, a ncis fanfic

So I'm not normally a huge fan of death-fics but this song is just so beautiful. WARNING-Depression factor is like a 10

Disclaimer: Don't own NCIS or Disciple. If I did own NCIS then Tiva woulda happen long time ago and there would be no need for this fic

It's just a matter of time a few days ago
I saw you, you were fine
Remembering what you said
About the book you read
The one I got you
The Beginning of the End
Oh how we'd talk
For hours upon end
What I would give
Just to do it again

He sat down on the bed. How could it have been that just a couple days ago they were teasing each other like always? She had been talking about the book she was reading. He had given it to her. He remembered how they would sit and talk for hours about their job, and about life.
But you're lying there
In this hospital bed
Won't you open your eyes
And let's talk once again

But, no, now she had been shot. He whispered her name, begging her to open her eyes. To talk to him about how much of a jerk her father is. To mix up her American Idioms.

If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face

"Ziva. I hope that you can hear me. But I want you to know that I've always loved you." He whispered. He put his hand on hers. "I'm so sorry that I never told you that before."
Well I've been here all night

And I'm watching you
Breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you
Or just a machine
That's giving you life
And it's making it seem
That there could be hope
I could say to your face
If it weren't for you
That there would be no grace
That's covered my life
You took the time
To speak into my mind
And my heart
Words of life

He sat there all night. The tubes running all over her, making her breathe. Making it seem that she was really there. He asked the doctors if there was hope that she might wake up.

He begged her over and over again to wake up. Then, he put his hand on her cheek and placed a kiss on her lips. "I love, Ziva. I hope you know that." He whispered again.

So goodbye for now
And I'll see you again
Some way, somehow
When it's my time to go
to the other side
I'll hold you again
And melt at your smile
Now all I have
Are the ones that I'm with
And you taught me not
To take for granted
The time that we have
To show that we care
Speak into their minds
And their hearts
While they're here
And say I love you

As the sun rose he looked her over. He whispered a solemn goodbye. Promising that they would see each other again. That he would remember her forever. That he would never take anything for granted again. The doctors unhooked the machines. He walked out the door, as the machine let out a slow, long beep. A single tear slid down his face.
