Expectantly
she waits for the call
Eagerly.....Anxiously

Time stands still, seemingly
Seconds like minutes
Minutes like hours
Hours seem an  eternity
Almost time,  she thinks,
as she waits

She tries to relax, to be  patient
But time had been
so long ago
So long since she talked to him last
After all,
Yesterday   seemed years
ago.........

Ethel - oh, I remember feeling like this. When I first met my now husband. I used to pace back and forth like a lioness. Grrrr. lol. Enjoyed. Chris

Chris, I start staying close to the phone about
and hour before he's supposed to call, or take the
cordless phone everywhere I go....  
Glad you understand...

Raph,
I'm glad that you like it. Yeah, it's awful waiting
for a call, isn't it......and to beat it all, he's
usually earlier than we plan. But, the hours from one
phone call to another feels like forever...

Sounds like true love to me, but remember, love is always patient.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

(tears fall down my cheeks) I've felt so violated by this wireless service, now my provider always tells me "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator!" more than twice! (wipes tears) It can feel so merciless, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, thank you for your reply. You are so sweet.
Yeh, I hate that when the operator says that......
Or rather, when the  RECORDING  says that.

Now that's what I hate....
when the recordings come on when you're trying to make
a business call. Sometimes you go through three or four
different messages before you get the department
you want to talk to. Ugh........

Sounds like you have got it bad! But be content with the waiting, at least you have the joy of anticipating a call. I would take any love right now myself, long distance or not! Enjoy it.

Dixie, yep...these long-distance relationships
get to one's patience sometimes. But I love him so much
that I will wait. Still, it doesn't keep the time from
just dragging by. It seems so long from one day to the
next, sometimes.......

Marjorie, we sure do have it bad. If we didn't we might not
be so willing to wait, or so eager to talk and see each
other......... We would both wait for an eternity if
we had to, I honestly believe....
