Dear Tuesday, 4

I just spoke with you  (on the phone) for over an hour! I can't believe it. We usually end up topping out at 15 minutes. I wish we could talk for hours on end like when were in college, but I don't think we can. Well I'm afraid we can't. Do you think those types of conversations happen between people married for long periods of time? Or do you think people who have been married for a while have pared down their conversations, like you and I have?

I worry about that... the sustainability to keep each other interested in the next 10, 20 , 50 years. I worry that we will get bored of solely talking to each other. Although, I know that we do well together in person. I don't think I could ever get bored of just being around you because I enjoy just being. I enjoy just standing still with you. I think that's what we do best. We connect best in person. Not so much in "digital".

I fear that you will forget me if I am not around. You will forget the softness of my hands and the way I look at you. The love that doesn't translate over the phone. I certainly don't feel as connected with you over the phone than as when I am holding your hand. Please, don't forget me. I so desperately want to not be forgotten. Have a good night. I love you.
