This is my first fanfic so be kind and tell me what you think... All italics are the characters' parts, while regular text is the songs... I don't own anything at all... except the idea of course... I have no beta... all mistakes are mine.

This chapter is shorter than the first, it was definetly harder for me to write in Grissom's POV, Sara's comes a lot easier. So read and review!! Please!!
P.S. This song is a little faster than I would normally use, but the words seemed so perfect. So if you've heard the song, try to read this slower.

I Need You – Relient K
Grissom's POV

I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me

As if just knowing wasn't enough. I've always known I was not built for these kinds of… things. These… relationships. But now, not only do I know I am alone, but I feel alone. That in itself makes all the difference. I feel… utterly alone, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. For this has never happened before.

I am thinking of you. I think about you every day. About everything. Your hair, eyes…your lips. Oh, I can still feel your lips on mine, even after all this time. That's right, it has been a long time. I broke my promise to you… it's been too long. Are you thinking you did something wrong? Please don't. You did nothing but love. I am at fault here… me. I am hiding, cowering into my corner where I feel safe. I may feel safe, but I am still alone. Alone.

Complete with walls I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made from what
I've just let pile and pile up

I don't know what is happening to me. I am torn between two feelings. One equally as painful as the other, equally as overwhelming. Fear and regret. They are tearing at my soul and at my heart. I'm being held hostage by one and taunted by the other. And I cannot sleep. When I do I see you again, I hear you again. You whisper my name and I feel your warm breath against my cheek. I miss you dearly, but I don't know what to do.

They're creeping up on me again… fear and regret. I am fearful of you… no… not of you. Of 'us'. Whatever 'us' means, I don't really know. I want to tell you I haven't forgotten. I will never forget. I want to run to you and wrap my arms around you forever. Just to hold you. But I am scared. I couldn't possibly do that. No. But if I don't this loneliness will eat away at me. Slowly… meticulously wearing me down to nothing. Nothing but empty promises. How could I do that to you? To leave you hanging on a single phrase… we will be together again. Never… I could never.

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I have not been abandoned, for I have been far too busy doing the abandoning. Not anymore. No… not anymore. I can do this. Ready? Yes. I… I… need you. I say it aloud, but I'm not talking to you yet. I need you… not love, but it's a start. I am trying.

I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe


You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need

I think I'm ready now… to tell you. I'm ready to hear your voice… to see your smile. I'm ready for this, for us.

Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please"

Can you hear me? I'm crying out for you. I want you to heal me… make me whole. Make me yours, forever. Fill the empty spaces of my heart with your love. Show me again what we had some time ago.

Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back

I am pacing in the kitchen again, like I have done so many times before. Back and forth… and back. Are you ready for me? Will you have me? I can only wish I am not too late.

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need

My hands are trembling. My thoughts are waging war against each other in my head. My mind is a battlefield strewn with the bodies of my insecurities I am trying so hard to suppress. I pick up the phone, and sigh deeply. I put it down again. Fear. It's coming back. But I push it away. I am winning… for now. Breathe, slowly. Stay calm. I'm dialing your number. I have it memorized. Since the day we parted, I could recite it in my head. Over and over.

But now it's real. It is time. I hear it ringing… once, twice…

Sara, I say. I need you.

Now it's time to review!! Yay. Thank you to my first reviewer. If i get enough reviews maybe I'll post the next song title and POV early... oooo ahhh...
