Words from a man, for when a woman wonders what he's thinking when they hang up.

Our Phones

© Scoots Ramirez

"When you text me, I can't seem to open the text fast enough to read it.
When you call me, I fumble my phone in a rush to answer.
When I talk to you on the phone, I want to reach through and caress your beautiful face.
When there's silence on the phone, I want your phone to be my lips kissing your ear.
When you speak, the rest of the World is silent to me.
When we hang up, I stare at your name on my phone and I smile.
So before I close my eyes to begin my sweet dreams of you, I hold my phone close to my heart, and hope that all my love for you will keep us connected."

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul

Judy Garland

Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.
