Typical Things

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 things to say

They are the things you get ashamed of

because words diminish them

words shrink things that seemed 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

but if you don't

you might break theirs.

Have you ever decided not to become a couple

because you were so afraid of losing

what 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 its own...

when you least suspect it or even when

you don't want it to.

Have you ever wanted to love someone

with everything you had,

but that other person was too 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

does 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 (or her) 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 are afraid....

afraid of what we don't know,

afraid of what others will think,

afraid of what will be found out about us.

But everytime we tell a lie....

the thing we fear grows stronger.

Life is all about risks

and it requires you to jump.

Don't be a person

who has to look back

and wonder what they would have,

or could have had.

No one waits forever....
