Star Crossed Lovers...we were not...

Star Crossed Lovers ( We were not...till now)

 

Back in the day, before cell phones, emails, Facebook & Facetime there was the rotary phone with special hours to call during the day.  It was at that hour, while in college, Tom and I would pinpoint the day and time that we would 'connect.'  Since we couldn't see or hear eachother at any given moment, it was this designated time that we would create the essence of our being with each other.  Although we were star crossed lovers because of distance, it never limited our ability to see, feel and exchange our love to one another.

 

Every Thursday night at 10:01, non peak hours, we would talk on the phone but before hanging up, the date and time was chosen.  No matter where either one of us were, we would stop what we were doing, step outside and find the purest, brightest star and that was the one we said was ours - the one we looked at the same time and knew that love was good.  It was our Facetime, Facebook and our email to each other.

 

It's amazing how as time goes by, and when you are ready, the signs of the universe come back at you again.  This time with clarity, knowledge and a love that was just being felt so many years ago.  The black sky is never truly that - it sparkles, it gleams, it calls the lovers to each other.

 

How appropriate now do I sit and wonder about that "Twinkle, Twinkle little star"  Is it Tom, is it another place in time or just a light in the sky.  Whatever you think, it was and will be, a guide for so many and in so many ways.
