080No One Waits Forever

posted by sherliez on September 19th, 2008

Inspired by the Dark Magician’s posts that came from her inbox, I tried to checkout my email as well and found this interesting poem about taking chances. Though, I fully believe in the quote “No guts no glory” and currently advocate of “Desiderata” sometimes getting the nerve to be true to thyself is everyones’ fear . I hope this poem inspire you.

NO ONE WAITS FOREVER
(source unknown)

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.
Word 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 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 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 not talk at all…

Have you ever loved someone?
And they had absolutely
No idea whatsoever?
Or fell for your bestfriend
In the entire world,
And then sat around
And watched her fall
for someone else?

Have you ever denied your
feelings for someone
Because of 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 will be found out about us.
But everytime we tell a lie…
The things we fear grow 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…
