The Power of words

I've always been one to believe that if you don't say it, you might miss the chance.  Words left unsaid sit in your mind, never leaving, but never given the ability to leave your lips and be told to the ears deserved to hear.  But timing is crucial to all of what is said.  My fear though isn't about time, or it wasn't.  It was about missing the moment, and missing my chance to say it. But sometimes it is more. So many reasons why we don't speak up when we should.
Maybe things are unsaid because you were too afraid to say something.  We're all afraid of the power our words and our thoughts have.  We're all preoccupied by how others may think of us, that we focus our thoughts to please them.
Maybe your words were untold because the time wasn't appropriate.  You needed closure on another level for your words to flow into conversation appropriately, you needed a time when your words are merely just words.

 No matter the reason why they were left unsaid they were.  But when the opposite happens, and you do speak now, what do you do when it wasn't the right time.  When the receiving ears weren't prepared for the verbal poison, or when the eyes didn't wanna take it in.
We cant always be perfect and we cant always validate the crucial moments.

For me, I knew the time wasn't right for what I wanted to say.  But for a reason unknown, that didn't matter to me.  In my mind I didn't need the time, or anything, I just needed to say it.  As soon as i typed what my mind felt acceptable, and my finger hit enter, i knew i could never reverse what had been done.
Telling someone you like them is just as scary as it was in third grade.  You wonder if telling them was a mistake and you wait to see what happens.  For me, I knew it was too soon to say, but I said it anyway.  I had time.  I hadn't missed my chance just yet but now, i may have.
My honestly may have cost me my dreams.  The one guy I meet who has an awesome personality, is gone just like that, for one sentence so simple, but holds so much power.
  Apologies will tumble next, but who knows if that takes me anywhere... right now, i feel it cant.

So even if you believe in saying things before its too late, make sure you evaluate what you may lose from your words.  For me, it was a chance at something real and something special, but for you, it may be more or less.  You should always speak now, but you should also be sure that speaking now, is the right thing.

If you know in your heart and you feel strongly about what you are about to voice not giving a fuck about anyone else, you voice yourself, you speak, because something if you so much desire, you don't want to lose the chance.
Looking back on regrets and things unsaid, is not what i want to ponder on my death bed.

Choice is yours...speak now or forever hold your peace.
