Before I fall

Not then but afterward, I started to think about time and how it keeps moving and draining and flowing forever forward, seconds into minute, into days into years, all of it leading to the same place, a current running forever in one direction. And we're all going and swimming as fast as we can, helping it along. 
My point is: maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around in it, let it slide like coins through your fingers. So much time you can waste it. 
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.
(By Lauren Oliver)

So if we're gonna stay here and wait, we're letting so many days which could be filled with smiles, laughter, happiness and hope, go by just like that. Human beings can make choices. They can choose to say what's in their heart or keep mum about it till "the time is right". They can also continue being as egoistic as ever or put their pride aside and just be honest. But the question here is - how much more time can we afford to waste?

Time flew by like nothing took place. And it's only to be here now, with nothing, nothing at all to say.
