[Love Has No Boundaries 2013 01] • Redesigning Old Dreams

*Dear Author,

I can’t stay. This city is no longer my home. I am constantly reminded of what has been lost. All I have left is him but I’m afraid he won’t come with me. How do I ask… beg him to stay by my side? Will I be strong enough to walk away if the answer is no?

**Photo Description:**

Two men embrace, eyes tightly closed. Light gleams off their brown skin, highlighting solid muscles and prominent veins on strong arms. The man in the foreground is wearing a white tank-top, his face pressed against his shirtless lover’s shoulder. A twilight-blue background contributes to the somber feeling of a poignant moment.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "**Love Has No Boundaries**" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
