A Moment's Peace

My day job is working technical support for a company that makes tax preparation software. This time of year, we're getting pretty swamped. Phone ringing off the hook. People waiting to get through. People frustrated, frazzled, tired. And they seem to like to take it out on me.

Somehow, I make it through. And yet I go from that to catering to my boyfriend's wants and needs. it's so rare that I get a moment to myself.

Today I decided enough was enough. I logged off my phone, I turned my cell to silent. Turned off my relaxing music CD. I wanted total silence.

And silence was what I got. I could hear the animals outside. I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I heard my innermost thoughts.

And it was you.
