She had died rather young, but he loved her still, and as he stood there he remembered her songs to him...
The pretty red teardrops fall
And people wonder why
Those teardrops are fallin' from my eyes
She had been so alone and broken when they had fallen in love, she had slight the paper in her hand with the song written on it. It was their song, her song, her life. There were blooddrops and tearstains on the paper as he read the song, and she sang it for him.
The pretty red teardrops
They fall upon my lap
And I know where they come from
But no one knows how much you meant
He got chills as he remembered her hollow voice saying the words, but she sounded so beautiful as she said them. She had been crying because she had lost the man she had loved for years, but he was there to comfort her that day, and things started to change.
And they don't understand
Just how much each teardrop means to me
The pretty red teardrops fall,
The pretty red tear…drops…
She was wrong of course, her friends all knew that he was important to her, that they had secretly loved one another for years. And Greg was there as she recovered from Grissom's loss, and he stayed by her side for her next few years of grief, until she was able to love again, and that's when they had their chance.
You'll remember me when the west wind moves So she took her love
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Sara and Greg married three years after Grissom had died, and they spent six amazing years together, they even had three children, Kayla, Tommy, and Laura. Kayla and Laura were twins and Tommy was their younger brother. They were all very happy.
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
But Sara became sick, and there was nothing that the doctors could do to save her. She died peacefully in their home, and all of their friends and family went to her funeral. The others helped Greg raise the children, especially Catherine.
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
That was two years ago, and Greg had a new song in his mind, a song of rememberance.
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold...
They would always be together in his memories, and she would be watching him from the clouds until it was his time to join her. Nothing could truely keep love apart, not even death. Greg watched their young children run around and he smiled, she would live on in them, in Laura, Kayla, and Tommy, they each had her beautiful brown hair, and the two girls looked very much like her. Greg sighed, this was still his family, and someday some other loving woman would be his wife, and she would help raise the children, but this would always be the most important memory.
The End
