The what ifs that we ask
Are the things we had no courage to do...

I could have said hello
But I was scared
I could have said yes
But I was afraid
I could have stopped you from leaving
But I was terrified
I could have ran away with you
But I was appalled
I could have fought for you
But I was cowardly
I could have done something
But I was horrified
I could have hold on to you
But I was timorous
I could have made you stay
But I was frightened
I could have told you I loved you
But I was craven
I could have made you mine
But I didn't

**what if I did?
I read a quotation but I can't remember who said it... But it goes something like

We regret the things we didn't do...

And yeah... I really do regret doing nothing.

Standing at the edge of a cliff
People surround you

One tells you to jump

Another tries to convince you not to

Then there's a person who'll push you

There's another who'll try to stop you from falling,
By clinging on to your arm

There's a person waiting at the bottom of the cliff,
Waiting to catch you

Then there's the person
Whose the reason why you're jumping




And then...
There's an unexpected person
Who'll *jump with you
There are different kinds of people in your life... You just need to figure out who is whom.

This is something I realized after an incident... I just wanted to share ^-^

The galaxy
The stars
The planets
The earth
The continents
A country
A city
A crowd
A person in that crowd
A pair of eyes
A pair of eyes that were staring back
And *the smile that was given
The moment when our eyes locked...

If you may give me permission
To ask and to give reason
I would gladly take the opportunity
To give me a bit of jubilee

As I do my best
To fulfill my quest
I only have a few requests
To my life's guests

It is not to treat me nice,y
Nor to treat me horridly
It is to treat me how they wish to be treated
Whether its with disregard or respect

If you treat me how you wish
Then I shall return the favor
But if you dare mess with me
Just imagine the resulting horror

If you are doing something
Wake it worthwhile
Whatever is happening
Put on a smile

Value each moment
Because all things end
Learn to love and to forgive
In life, good things must be conceived

Most importantly
Is to please remember me
Because I would never forget you
Even if time goes beyond infinity

The best and worst thing about pretending
Is that the lie gets so good that everyone believes it
And that you believe it too
A fake smile that seems so real that you don't remember what a real smile is

I'd love you every far, every moment, every night
I'd love you even if the sun doesn't shine
If love you even more, every time the moon passes by
I'd love you as much as the stars in the sky
I'd love you when you're up
I'd love you when you're down
If love to wild away that frown
I'd love you when you're far
I'd love you when you're near
I'm not leaving so there's no room for fear
I'd love to hold your hand
I'd love to take your time
I'd love to be the one
I'd love to call you mine


*If only you were mine...

Walking along a straight paved path
Underneath the autumn trees
As the amber leaves began to fall
I recalled when I first felt this breeze

Glancing upon the orange dyed sky
I got reminded of what has been
Memories of you and I
Which are better left forgotten and unseen

I continued strolling...
Not knowing where I might wander off
Then I saw an old tire swing
Where the melody of love first begun to sing

I went to the picnic grove
Where we had our first lunch
Remember how we watched the afternoon turn to nigh?
We were in so much trouble, but it felt so right

Remember our mahogany tree?
The one that's all alone but looks so happy
Do you remember what you told me?
You promised that I'm the girl you'll marry

Yes, we were young, childish and silly
But I kind of took it seriously
We were kids and eventually grew up
I thought what we had was more than enough

Like our love the paved path didn't go on forever
I reached the end where our dreams withered
Strolling, the last stop I made
Was at the garden of lilies where all the promises had fade

I journey back on the path...
The path we used to walk on together
It felt a lot colder
And somewhat warmer

To cut it short, we didn't walk forever
We realized in the end we were on different roads
Now that my flashback is over
I walk the same path again with a new hand to hold
Well what I realized is that... It's alright if you and your significant other are walking on different paths. What matters is that both of you are looking and are heading towards the same direction ^-^
