It was a dry,hot day when I took my phone to make a call to a very distant friend.He had not been away for two months but I felt he had gone for many years.I missed him bitterly and wanted so much to see him again.Calling him was quite expensive but I had no better choice than to embrace it as the best option...As his phone rang,my heart raced and pounded against my chest because I did not know what to expect-maybe I was done with my role in his life,maybe I was no longer what he wanted,maybe I had as well faded away from his heart.Inwardly,I prayed he still cared,I prayed he still loved(because,even though he never said it,the love he had for me lay in his eyes),I prayed he was missing me just like myself...Then he answered...'I love you and it hurts me so much to say it now you can't see me'.I let some tears drop-my Love was across the ocean!
