Take a chance on me.



If you change your mind, I'm the first in Line.
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me.

Hmmm what do you do when the one you love is openly talking to you about the person they love. And this person they love happens to not be you.

You spent over a year fantasying about this person, slowly building the courage to confront them. To tell that special person that you can’t stop thinking about, that you like her. But then it hits you, what if she doesn’t like you? Do you stand their looking like an idiot, while she throws seven hundred reasons why she doesn’t want to be with you? And so you never tell that person how you really felt. You become best friends instead. See all those stupid boyfriends she had, all those people that broke her heart, yet you knew you would never do that, but what did you do....nothing. You stayed by her side for several years, seen her silliest face she could pull, been through the good times and the bad, and the plain embarrassing, know everything about her, yet you still don’t know if she likes you more than a friend. The courage has vanquished, you’ve gotten in too deep and should you ask her and she rejects you, you shall lose her forever. Things would never be the same. So what do you do? Living everyday hoping that someday she would notice you more than a friend. And to finally ask you the big question, but until that day, you wake up every morning hoping. Hoping for everything.

one dark street


Walking down a crisp dark street late at night will deter many, but for some it’s a challenge. A challenge to face all fears, conquer what was once not. Achieve something, which someone else hasn’t dared. With no street lights, and vaguely visible street signs, finding the right road is an exploration.

Into the unknown we must travel, and getting lost along the way brings about more knowledge. Thus being lost once again is unlikely. Along the way you may encounter an array of routes, shortcuts, roads, highways, streets, lanes, walkways, platforms, trails and bridges. But the one that leads to where you really want can prove difficult. Many quit at this stage, but some move on. To conquer the night, and see really what is on the other side, will only be revealed at the break of morning. Til then it’s unknown and here I lay, in a quite damp brick road, waiting out this cold night to see something, something that I hope will change everything and make it all worthwhile.
