a sound for sore ears
The sound that makes your ears scream because you were waiting for someone to finally respond, and when they did, it was like a long-awaited reunion with your worst enemy.
I waited for you for three days. Then you called me, and I almost cried.
I thought you were gone for good. Then you texted me, and I screamed.
I was about to give up on life, and then your voice came through. I almost hugged my phone.
