Another popular piece ciruclated by many through e-mail. While watching Bill Cosby's "Kids Say the Darndest Things" on television one day, I realized that kids do not have as much inhibitions as adults do when expressing what they like or dislike. What happened to us along the way?
 
  No One Waits Forever

Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone
is when they are right beside you,
and yet you can never have them....
when the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips you miss them?

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most
saying something and wishing you had not,
or saying nothing and wishing you had?

I guess the most important things are the hardest to say.
they are the things you get ashamed of
because words diminish them,
words shrink things that seem timeless when they were in your head
to no more than living size when they are brought out.

Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.
if you do, they might break your heart;
if you don't, you might break theirs.

Have you ever decided not to become a couple
because you were so afraid of losing whatever you already had with that person?

Your heart decides who it likes
and who it doesn't.
You can't tell your heart what to do.
It does it on it's own,
when you least suspect it
or when you don't want it to.

Have you ever wanted to love someone
with everything you had
and that person was afraid to let you?

Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid
to care too much,
for fear that the other person do not care as much,
or at all.

Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever?
Or fell for your best friend in the entire world,
and then sat around and watched him fall for someone else?

Have you ever denied your feelings for someone
because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?

We tell lies when we're afraid..
afraid of what we do not know,
afraid of what others think,
afraid of what will be found out about us.
But everytime we tell a lie,
the thing we fear grows stronger...

Life is about risks and it requires you to jump.
Don't be a person who has to look back
and wonder what you would have,
or could have had.
No one waits forever.
