Quartet: Distance and Time

With just 36 miles to go the silence became deafening, the afternoon dragging on into the everlasting evening until your call. With just 36 miles to go how could I worry so much, but, I did my dear, I did and I thank you so for your call. When you've only 36 miles left to get home I'll soon be able to thank you in person for your voice, your life and your love. ------------------------------------------------------- 36 minutes to show again how I love you, again how much you love me and how we’re made for each other. 36 minutes to show our love has stood the test of time, our lives together mean so much more and our future is brighter than before. 36 minutes to show my appreciation of you, my need to be part of you and your desire to be one with me. ---------------------------------------------------------- Just 36 hours ago we were as close as two can get, were as loving as two can be and were as caring as two can show. Just 36 hours ago we held each other, held our breath and held time still for a while. Just 36 hours ago we lived as life should be lived, loved as two lives should love and learned just how far we've come. ------------------------------------------------------------ 36 years ago when we were young and our love was only a tender bud, how were we to know God would still allow it to grow. 36 years ago I felt love for the first time, my heart broke for the first time, now is our love renewed and my heart mended. 36 years ago life hit hard and I kept on going, loneliness was my new friend, would I have done different knowing it wasn’t our end?
