Heart of Scars
Ian
and Billy had been together forever, or at least as long as it mattered. Ian
had generally been an unfaithful object of anyone’s affection—but not since he married
Billy.
There
was a bittersweet purity about Billy that made Ian want to protect him, even
from himself. Billy was a sappy sentimentalist; he never forgot a
birthday, anniversary, any special occasion, even making up “Days to Remember”
milestone calendars for Ian so he wouldn’t either.
Ian didn’t deserve such
loving loyalty, not for all that he had been in his past but Billy made him
whole, made him new………made him clean again with his love.
They
hadn’t been to Bareback Beach since that first night—no need, because they found
their love in each other. But, tonight was heartbreakingly special in ways
Billy would come to understand; memorable in ways that would hurt Billy forever.
It
broke Ian’s heart to watch Billy running, laughing, frolicking at the ebb and
flow of the surf with his carefree heart: too soon a heart of scars at Ian’s
hand. So it was here their love began and here it would end.
Ian was
HIV Positive. Billy’s love wouldn’t save him…………….couldn’t save him.

I was born when we kissed; I died when we parted. I lived in your embrace while we loved..........
