Sighing Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when he or she 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 painfully. Have you ever wondered which hurts the most, saying something you wish you hadn’t, or not saying something you wish you had? Often, the most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you are ashamed of because words diminish them. Words shrink things that seemed timeless; when they were in your head to be no more than living sizes 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 afraid of losing what you had with that person? Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn’t. You can never tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own, when you least expect it, or even when you don’t want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that person was too afraid to let you? We often wall ourselves in because we were afraid we care too much…for fear that person doesn’t care as much…or not at all. Have you ever loved someone and that person had absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your best friend in the entire world, then sat around and watched him fall for someone else?
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because fear of rejection was too hard to handle? Or have you ever cast out your feelings because you thought things were impossible?
We tell lies when we are afraid…Afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others might think, afraid of what might be found out about us. But, every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear becomes stronger. Life is all about risk, and sometimes we have to take a chance. Don’t be a person who looks back and wonders what he could have had…Sometimes, life offers us no second chance, and no one waits forever. So…cherish the past, it made you what you are. Treasure the present for it is a timeless gift. Pray for the future, it’s where hopes are fulfilled, and where dreams become reality.
There are only two ways to live your life…One is as though nothing is a miracle…the other, is as though everything is.
