postscript

i’ve never waited for anything.

i’ve never waited for a lover.

i’ve never waited for love.

i’ve never waited to be loved.

i’ve never waited to be confided in.

i’ve never waited to be trusted.

i’ve never waited to speak my mind.

i’ve never waited to find a resolution.

i’ve never waited to listen.

i’ve never waited to love.

i’ve never waited to be present.

i’ve never even waited for the future.

i’ve never waited to change my life.

but i have been scared.

i’ve been scared to love.

i’ve been scared to be loved.

i’ve been scared to listen.

i’ve been scared to understand.

i’ve been scared to change my life.

i’ve been scared to make choices. to decide.

i’ve been scared to give.

i’ve been scared to run.

i’ve been scared to stay.

i’ve been scared to live.

but i made a plan. and maybe the plans didn’t pan out. but that’s ok. i still had goals. and i still had a plan.

i didn’t wait for the life i wanted. i didn’t wait for life to catch up.

every second, i make the life i want. do it. and live it. every second. every moment.

i can’t see 10 miles down the road. but i know what i want to see when i get there.
