Anxious, uncertain, trembling
like a schoolgirl then recognizing...I’m an
adult only feeling like a child. The time arrived to establish
a discrete call... Should I hang up now as it
is ringing? Quivering, I linger on the
line. Hello was so leisurely and
innocent... as if we were long lost companions. Maybe in another life? Maybe in another time... Soul mates if you will. Who really knew how comfortable
this conversing would bestow. Why so remote in the horizon? Why so dejected to say goodbye? Losing a loved one is not
the literal empathy... then again it is equivalent
to losing a devoted friend. Who knows if this will transpire
once again. Leaving only a deep void
inside... Having to hang up was torture I could have talked ceaselessly. Such kind words, gestures
and musings rang across the wire Not to fear as I desire not
to scandal you Merely distant friends across
the miles These words will unceasingly
be in my mind and heart... they will forever be so gentle. I was generating a dilemma
for myself for knowing the voice behind
those kind-hearted words will forevermore remain in
my heart. Life can be spontaneous... Harmless as that call... Untainted as that conversation
