I had high hopes she’d call, I get lonely now & then is all, I leave a message on her phone, Wish we could go out for an ice cream cone… She lives so far away it seems, Everytime I hear from her, I for awhile beam, I can as well call her, don’t get me wrong, I also see her every night in my dreams… She works a great deal, Some weeks she has no days off, They don’t seem to treat her too well, If she could only once call, it could my loneliness quell… © ed ~ 9/12/08

Sometimes being a part is a blessing but more often it is just a tease to the heartstrings.

She works hard and will make time for you inbetween when she is free. Don't give up, she comes when she has free time for her job doesn't she. Lovely photo of you both. Treasure it very much, it is good.
