To My Love Across the Sea
To my love far away across the sea, The calendar slogs by as I long for thee
To my love far away across the sea,
The calendar slogs by as I long for thee,
As I yearn for the future days of you and me.
Those future days dance just out of reach —
I stretch out for them, and away they flee.
I’m imprisoned in luxury, far away from thee
The salt of fading yesterdays
Leaves me in a daze,
In a swamp of ache
Will the waves that separate us
Ever let us touch?
Will the miles that keep us apart
Ever have mercy on my broken heart?
Until the day my fingers meet yours
I’ll keep crying behind closed doors
Waiting for you to land on my shores

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
