Oceans Apart

Brian flipped open the notebook and stared at the blank pages willing his thoughts to spill onto the paper. Justin was gone. He had left and never was coming back as far as he knew. They had had one huge fight two weeks after the liberty ride and Justin had picked up all his stuff and headed to LA without looking back. Now all Brian could do was hope that one day Justin would come back to him.

Oceans apart day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever

Brian slowly picked up the ringing phone and hoped that it was Justin. He heard Justin whisper a hello then his voice broke into sobs. He apologized for everything that had happened over the last few weeks and he told Brian how much he wished that he could come home and spend one night just lying in his arms.

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

Brian almost broke when he heard the desperation in Justin's voice and told him that he was forgiven. He also told him how much he wanted him to be a fabulous fucking success and that when he was ready he could come home to their loft. Once he had calmed Justin down, and they had hung up Brian finally realized what he needed to do.

I took for granted, all the times

That I though would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me goin' crazy

He turned back to his paper, grabbed a pen, and wrote frantically all the thoughts that were coming to his head and then when he had gained enough composure he picked up his phone and dialed Justin's number.

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

Justin answered the desperation still clearly whispered. He was unsure about the tone in his voice, and knew that he couldn't afford to fall apart again. He heard Brian on the other end again and was glad that the older man had wanted him back. Then he was surprised by what Brian said in fact the words were so clear he could almost have memorized them. Brian spoke of how he had taught him to never to give up on anything, but most of all about how his sunshine had taught him how to love. Justin was incredibly shocked when Brian Kinney choked out I love you.

I wonder how we can survive

This romance

But in the end if I'm with you

I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me goin' crazy

Brian smiled when Justin told him that he still loved him, and that he wanted to come home and tell him that. They might be oceans apart, but one thing was for sure, that their love was going to survive.

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you
