"Lips Of An Angel" by Hinder

Five months ago Baljeet had left Danville to go to college. The last time the two boys spoke, Baljeet had told Buford not to think about him anymore and to move on with his life. So that was exactly what he did. Buford had been in a relationship with Adyson for the past 3 months.

As much as Buford tried to love Adyson like he did Baljeet, he just couldn't. Nothing she did was ever good enough for Buford. The way she laughed at his bad jokes, the way she talked to him, or the way she kissed him could never live up to Buford's satisfaction.

One day around 3:00am while Buford and Adyson were sleeping in her bedroom together, Buford was woken up by his cell phone that was vibrating on the window sill above the bed. He grabbed the phone to see that it was Baljeet calling him. Without really giving it a second thought, Buford quickly took the phone with him into the bathroom across the hall before briefly checking to see if his girlfriend was still asleep.

"Baljeet?" he said as he picked up the phone.

"Um… Yes, hello." a familiar accent said over the phone.

" 'Jeet you… couldn't have picked a worse time to call." Buford said nervously.

"Yes… I know it is late over there." Baljeet said.

"Yeah it is,… but that's not what I meant." Buford paused and took a deep breath "I'm at Adyson's house right now."

"Oh….I see…" Baljeet said slowly. "So… you two are…?"

"Yeah…" Buford answered quickly.

The line was quiet for about 7 minutes. Baljeet didn't know why he was surprised. They did agree to see other people after all.

"Listen…..Um… I should not have called. I can see that you have moved on… I will let you go…" Baljeet said with a trembling voice.

"Wait! Don't go!" Buford said a little too loud forgetting that he was supposed to be quiet. "You're wrong… I haven't moved on! I just…" Buford stopped when he heard the distinct sound of whimpering coming from his phone. "Oh Baljeet… please don't cry…"

"I still dream of you…." Baljeet said. Buford could tell he was still crying.

Buford's heart ached. He wished Baljeet was with him so he could hold him and make the pain go away. "Me too." Buford said nostalgically.

"Perhaps we will meet again in our dreams soon." Baljeet said.

Buford giggled slightly. " 'Jeet you've always been such a corn-ball."

Baljeet giggled loudly at Buford's remark.

The boys talked for almost an hour. They talked about their child hood and all of their crazy adventures with Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella. They talked about how they fell in love and when they first came out of the closet to their friends and family. It was as if they had never been apart.

"I miss you Buford." Baljeet said. It was silent. Buford closed his eyes and said nothing in response "Buford… are you there?"

"Yeah I'm here…" Buford finely said "I just wanted to hear you say my name again."

Baljeet sighed longingly "I…should let you go now. Good night, Buford….I love you."

"I love you too."
