Hours and Hours

Tex and I spend endless hours on the phone

we are ruining each other's sleep

I remember when I heard that Mr. C was getting serious about a woman who lives as far away as Tex does -- I thought he was crazy

Why would you do such a thing?

and yet

here I am in the same boat

thinking - -why not?

as I am grateful that we live in an age of limitless minutes and no long distance charges

We are talking about when we will meet

he has some time in December

after Christmas

which is now - 11 weeks and 2 days away

too far away in some ways

and yet

11 weeks would fly by as well

This has me looking at the calendar
and fantasizing via Orbitz

I want so much to go
and see him
and KNOW

and spend hours and hours at his feet.
