The other day I heard a story, so beautiful yet sad. It went something like this.
I fell in love, tottaly and unexpectedly. His eyes as blue as the sky. Holding the weight of the world in them. His lopsided smile so broad it could light up an entire nation, and make ease a nervous soul. His every movement drawing me in, his every word captivating me. The way my heart pounds and my breathing quickens is shameless. I fear it will betray me. I feel but 16 again, and me, a full grown adult.
Every day drags on by. The clock ticking loudly. The minutes pass slowly, Tick tock. Louder and louder the ticking grows. I can not even hear myself think. I wish for the day to be gone so i may get a glimpse, but tonight is not the night. Busy lives and another day is gone. I would but let my life pass in a flash if only for one glimpse. Another day dawns, another day of slowly ticking minutes. The morning seems to take years to pass. I check my phone, still nothing. Then as if on command the phone rings. I race to get it, and breathlessly I say "hello" . It is not Him. My heart drops and my eyes go blurry. I knew it would not be Him yet I stil had hoped it would be. As the afternoon turns into evening and every ring of the phone turns out to be someone else. The clock ticks louder and again I can not hear my self think. Evening arrives bringing the rain. I am not as sad when it rains because when it rains i no longer feel alone. The roll of the thunder in my ear, and the drops of water so big and wet landing on my face somehow relieves me like a song. Lifting the shawdows for a spell. Then again the phone rings. Do I dare race to answer, without a question I will always race to answer. This call is Him, and joy fills my heart. I smile and blush like a school girl, and chat like a gossiping old lady. Then one hour,and another passes in a flash. Then it is time to say good nite. As I wish him sweet dreams and safety, tears fill my eyes. I try hard not to let him hear the sadness, or see the tears. I know life is hard enough without having to worry about those we love. So chin up and kisses blown, and I am ready for another day to drag slowly by.
