You Know I’d Estimate That About Three Or Four Times A Day

“You know, I’d estimate that about 3 or 4 times a day I’ll check the time – then instantly try to imagine where you would be and what you’d be doing based on the time of day. It’s this odd little habit I can’t seem to shake. Maybe it’s my way of trying to stay connected to you. Across time, across distance. Whatever it is, there’s love in it…. that little gesture…. So in a strange way, it’s like every check of the time stops it for a moment… just to love you.”
