To be or not to be — in Love

There’s a time you want to tell, and you don’t.

There’s a time you wish you could tell, but you were confused.

There’s a time when you think you should say, and you can’t.

There’s a time when you say, and you deny.

There’s a time when you blurt it out, and you mean it.

There’s a time when you can’t keep it in, but you do.

There’s a time when you plan to say it, and it falls apart.

There’s a time you want to be heard, and you listen.

There’s a time you’d rather want to leave, but you stay.

There’s a time you want this to be a secret, and then everybody knows.

There’s a time you want to find the right words, and they slip away.

There’s a time you know you have to say, and you refuse to.

Maybe it’s not the time, maybe it is.

There’s always a time for everything, but if only I hadn’t missed out on any of this, I would be with you…

Writing for me is like being gloriously drunk in emotions, followed by a hangover of relief. So, if your passion led you here, may my words make you stay!
