got this one from alvic's blog and it just struck me...

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 you 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 ones 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…


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 you 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 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
achieved if they just weren’t
too afraid to try.
Live your days as if
they were your last…
experience everything.
Laugh and smile, and cry and learn…
...dance like nobody’s watching
and love like it’s never gonna hurt.
