Tell Them

Let's start with this one crazy and never ending question. WHY? WHY HER? WHY HIM? WHY OF ALL PEOPLE? Why did we fall in love with somebody who is already taken? Why did we fall in love with somebody who can't love us back? Why did we fall in love with somebody who cannot even see our worth? Why did we end up falling in love with one ones we cannot have? WHY DO WE OFTEN FALL IN LOVE WITH OUR FRIEND? WHY DID I FALL IN LOVE WITH MY BESTFRIEND?

It's the realization that after being together for a long time as friends we'll one day wake up and realize we don't only see this friend of ours as an acquaintance but realizing we want more, we want more than just friendship, something higher than that word. Seeing them makes our day complete, hearing their voice makes us calm and being with them makes us happy. The time we spent with them means so much to us and seeing them alone and sad makes us weak too. We cannot avoid to do things unlikely especially when we see them happy with someone else without even knowing their relationship with that other person, in fact we don't even have the right to feel any uncommon feelings like sadness, jealousy and anger. Kaibigan lang naman tayo, wala tayong karapatan. The reason behind this unlikely behavior we have is the fact that we cannot tell them the reason behind this emotions. Its hard being a woman who cannot tell a man she loves him for even man cannot immediately tell his girl friend he likes her or that he had fallen in love with her. I can't even understand why women who first confessed their feelings to men are said to be "atat", halloo people, have we ever read any law saying women cannot confess first? Is it a mortal sin? Is it against any rules? It is not something to be ashamed of but rather to be proud of for not all folks have the courage to verbalize what's inside their minds and heart. It doesn't necessarily mean that when we profess affection towards opposite sex we want them to like us too, that they have to change and live through what we feel or that we want to put brand to our relationship. They don't have to adjust, change and act like they can or they do reciprocate our feelings just because of pity. Words and expressions are outlets of our emotional state, keeping it will only create more bridges and barriers to what we exactly feel in which will also lead to depression and unexpressed emotions. We don't have all the time in the world, why hesitate to say and express what we feel? Is it because we are afraid of getting negative reactions? Are we scared that we might get rejections? Are we afraid of getting hurt in the end? Then, aren't we afraid of the time we are wasting while doing nothing? Aren't we afraid of blowing our chances to say and show what we really feel? Don't we think we won't look back to this time of our life in the future and say, what if I tried? Why not turn this what ifs to why not? It's okay to fail and get hurt by trying that to fail and regret while doing nothing.

To you my dear, grasp the chance of telling the one you love what you feel, and seize your time and moment available being with the ones you love. You are damn lucky that you still have time and opportunity to tell and show them how much you are happy to meet them, how blessed you are to have them and how thankful you are that you still have them.
