Close your eyes

Luke held on to Noah for dear life. He did not want to let Noah go. "I miss you already."Noah hugged his new boyfriend and looked at him tenderly 'I will email you every day."Luke looked into Noah's eyes as he whispered "You promise?" Noah nodded 'I promise."He gentley kissed Luke fully and softly on the lips. Never in his life had Luke ever been kissed like that. It sent a wonderful shiver through is very soul. He moaned from the sheer pleasure of it.

Noah gently pulled himself away from Luke's arms 'I have to go"With a sob Luke pulled him close and kissed Noah one last time. Again Noah pulled himself away gently and he boarded the ship. Leaving Luke on the verge of tears. Luke watched through those tears as the ship pulled out from the dock. As he wiped away those tearrs, he heard a voice call to him. "Luke." he looked up and saw Noah standing on the deck of the ship.

Noah waved as he began to sing.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FEEL ME KISS YOU , FOR TOMORROW, I 'LL MISS YOU. REMEMBER I'LL ALWAYS BE TRUE. WHILE I'M AWAY I'LL WRITE YOU EVERY DAY. I'LL SEND ALL MY LOVING TO YOU."

Luke laughed through his tears. He waved and blew his new boyfriend a kiss. "I love you Noah, be save, come back to me soon."Noah smiled "I will I promise." A lump was in Luke's throat as he watched the ship disapear carrying Noah with it.

Luke fingered the pin he now wore on the lapel of his jacket. Noah had given it to him moments hefore he had left Luke. Luke looked out and said softly across the universe. "Please, keep him safe. bring him back to me."

He had only known Noah for a few hours but he had captured Luke's heart. Luke lost it to him the second their hands touched whilt picking Luke's book up. Later after he got home to his small apartment, he checked his emails, He had rented a computer while his own was getting repaired. Most of the emails were just junk but one caught his eye. It was from At first Luke wonder who it was from. Curious he opened it. he smiled as he saw who it was from , Noah.

He looked at the picture he had of Noah. Eariler in the day they had stopped at a instant photo booth and had a single shot of each other and then two of them together. so that each would have pictures of each other. While they were apart.

Luke quietly sang to the photo.

I'LL PRETEND THAT I'M KISSING THE LIPS I'M NOW MISSING. I HOPE THAT ONE DAY MY DREAMS AND PRETENDING WILL COME TRUE.

He kissed the picture and lay on his bed. He drifted off to sleep. He dreamt of the day he would hold Noah again
