The phone booth near the lake...

Just writing some words.

The phone booth near the lake….

I called you at midnight and I told you.

I miss your voice and the nights seem colder without you.

Please come to me. The Germany Winter is making me sad.

I came to our phone booth near the lake and

I remember us talking to your mama.

Remember your mama told me.

Please don’t break my daughter heart.

Please tell your dear Mama,

You are the love of my life and

I would never be unkind to you.

Please come back soon.

The Winter days are long and I do miss you.

Coyote

Phone booths and distance. You reminded me of meeting my husband. Shortly afterwards, he was working away. The days before mobile phones. Every evening he would phone me from the same phone booth, feeding it with coins. The operators used to listen in :) We knew they did. All weathers, he always phoned. I smiled when I recalled those days. Your beautiful words Coyote took me back in time and I am thankful for that.

I enjoyed my visit very much. Have a beautiful day my friend.

Thank you Ken. I appreciate the comment.

I suspect that after phonebooths are gone and even cell phones have become obsolete, this strong yearning will abide. From generation to generation. Yeah. A very emotional and soul stirring piece here.

Thank you Akinlolu. The phone booths are gone. Now just cherish memories of days gone by.
