&ldquo;I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.&rdquo; <br /> ― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

and i will add it to
the list of
things i have not done
songs i have not sung
people i have not met
things i will not get
things i will not say
things that have not gone my way
because i am afraid
i am not brave
i wait too long
i hesitate
i do not take risks i do not take chances
i watch
i wait
until it is much,
much
too late
