You catch yourself watching the clock for the third time in an hour and silently curse yourself for noticing it's the third time.   You've never been a clock watcher.

Hours, minutes, seconds.  Those don't hold any meaning to you.  Not when you play, when you lose yourself in a stretch of forever and become nothing but song.

The apartment is quiet, minutes ticking by unaccompanied.  You move to pick your up violin to fill the silence with sound but the creak of an old door beats you to it.

He emerges past it, rueful blue eyes turned to you, blond head shaking in apology for being late. The word Brian starts to form on his lips but you don't want to hear it break.

You tilt his head back for a kiss, slowly savoring each second.  You lose yourself in him like you do with music because you have to, you need to.   You know you'll never have forever.  Not with him.


-End-
