Blaine looked into his lovers eyes, trying to remember every little part of them, the colours, the way they shone. He wouldn't be seeing them for a while.

He looked at Kurt as he held him tight, as if he never wanted to let go. Ruined by the announcement that Kurt had to get on the plane, or he would miss his flight. Kurt leaned in towards his boyfriend, both of them crying silently as they shared this one last kiss.

Taking a deep breath, he managed to say the words they both needed to hear. "I love you."

"I love you too, Kurt...and I'm going to miss you so much." Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck.

"One month. Then we can meet again." He moved on for one last kiss. It was soft and gentle, but still nothing less than what they needed it to be. Pulling away slowly, Kurt's tears fell uncontrollably down his soft skin. Reaching out his thumb, Blaine wiped them away. "Goodbye Kurt."

"Goodbye."

After one last hug, Kurt turned away, walking towards Rachel and Finn. He didn't look back. He couldn't look back, if he did, he would've only stayed behind.

Blaine stood still. Hot tears were falling off his face and splashing to the floor. The minute he could no longer see Kurt, he fell to his knees, sobbing. The remaining New Directions ran to him, also crying at the scene they had just witnessed. Helping him to his feet they all hugged him, but he just wanted to be alone.

Driving home a song came on the radio. Blaine felt a lump and tightness in his throat, but powering through he heard the first part.

The power lines went out,

And I am all alone,

But I don't really care at all,

Not answering my phone.

He pulled over, listening intently. He didn't know when the tears had again started falling, but he knew they were not going to stop for a while. He listened to every lyric of the song, thinking of when he and Kurt had first sung this. The song that he had used to make them a couple.

A couple that were 589 miles apart.

Kurt was silent the entire flight. He had cried out all his tears. He just sat there, thinking of him, thinking of his wonderful boyfriend. He went into his bag to find his IPod and found an envelope, inside was a letter and a picture of him and Blaine. He read the letter intently.

My love,

You're probably reading this on an aeroplane to New York. Which is why this is a perfect time to say what I needed to you. I couldn't have said this earlier, because you'd end up staying behind for me, which isn't fair as you've got the whole world at your feet and I know they're going to love you. So here it goes.

I love you. I love you more than anything and anyone. And I'm going to miss you. Your hair, your smell, your eyes, your smile and your voice. All of you. There isn't a thing about you I wouldn't change. I know I probably told you I was going to miss you at the airport but this is different, Kurt. Because missing you is one thing. Needing you is another. I'm going to have to go a month without you to hold without you to hug and without you to kiss. And that's killing me. You'll have Rachel and Finn. I have the New Directions that are left. But it's not the same.

So when you get off the plane I need you to phone me. To let me know that you've read this because honestly I just wanted you to know that you are a part of me now. I know I can be closed off and not as open as you and I know I'm an ‘Alpha gay.' But inside, what I probably didn't let you see at the airport, was just how much you mean to me, and how much you and your love has changed me. And I'm sorry I could never say that to your face.

I'll see you in a month.

Love from,

Blaine.

Kurt looked at the letter, tears had returned to his eyes, and were overflowing down his face, Blaine was right. He would've stayed if he'd known he meant that much to him. Part of him felt reassured. He'd told Blaine stuff like this and just had "you too." Or "I agree" thrown back at him. But now he understood why. If he had heard those things anytime sooner he would never have left. Blaine knew this, and Kurt was grateful that he knew his boyfriend loved him just as much as he loved Blaine but had timed it so perfectly he wouldn't get in the way of his dreams. Blaine was perfect to him.
