I am <br />adjusting well to the new way. <br /><br />Late at night, I call my long <br />distance lover and proudly say <br />I only used fifty-nine today. <br />I saved the rest for you. <br /><br />When she doesn't respond, I know <br />she's used up all her words <br />so I slowly whisper I love you, <br />thirty-two and a third times. <br />After that, we just sit on the line <br />and listen to each other breathe. <br /><br />--Jeffrey McDaniel
