In response to Writing Outside the Lines challenge Prompt 7 for the week of September 20, 2015:
In our lives there are people, sometimes several, that we have things we want to talk to them about, something to tell them, something to share – good or bad, but the timing just is never right and those things go unsaid. Those things you could never tell go with you to the grave or at least are lost to the person you needed to tell when they go to theirs.
If I Could Only Say …
There are so many words
in my heart
in my mind
in my soul
that need to be said
that need to be shared
that need to be discussed
Yet…
Fear is keeping them to
myself … at least for now
Perhaps I will write them
all down and put them
in an envelope addressed
to you …
One that will be found by
some random individual
going through the detritus
of my sad life when I am
no more than dust on
a forgotten mantel
Maybe it will be mailed
perhaps it will be tossed
with all the other bits
and pieces collected for
years that no longer
have significance to
anyone …
living or dead
There is no guarantee
if mailed it will find
you …
Perhaps you have gone
ahead to pave the way
in the Universe for my
arrival …
Maybe then …
we will reconnect and
I can tell you
my thoughts…
my fears…
what all I held back
for years that needed
to be said…
And…
We will both laugh
because in the end
it really didn’t matter…

I get it Annie …I really do … there does come a point where you wonder … but in the end … true feelings do matter … everything that is real and honest matters. Never let anyone subjugate or minimize your feelings to make themselves seem larger than they are … XXXOOO let go of the fear and you will free yourself

In the end … when it is all said and done … nothing we say really matters … it is what we do … how we are treated … how we treat others
