A smile graces my face as I hear your voice. You begin to speak and I listen intently. You deliver your message and it brings everything to a halt. Your words caused my heart to briefly skip a beat or two. My mind stopped in its track as if it hit a wall. I am left completely speechless and dumbstruck.
I wanted to ask how you were but I couldn't manage to get the words out. Perhaps I did not want to hear because it might be too much to bear. You told me you were alright and my mind resumed its course again. A heavy, heavy burden lifted from my heart. It rejoices in its newfound lightness and knowing that you are okay. It sights briefly and longingly decides it can wait to see you later that day.
