Noontide
Tides drift in and out, like clockwork, underwater out of water. Water over time wears down stone.
There's something about me that refuses to ever give up. Once my mind is set I do whatever it takes to get it done. Because there is something I must do. I wonder sometimes if giving up would make me a smarter or stronger man. Sometimes dreams must be forgotten and reality accepted.
Somewhere I refuse to believe that I could be a lost cause. There are so many different people and places and things, that I refuse to take any risks. I never give up but I'm scared to take risks. I worry that I would ruin something, or in any way make things worse. That or I never begin to try in the first place. I shove things off before I start so I never have to give up on something. I can already see their outcome anyway.
But deep down I know I've already failed. It seems that with every person there's another reason to almost not be. Distance, unsure, even another guy. And every time I seem to fall just too short. I should just give up while I'm ahead. It doesn't matter what girl it is, once they've known you long enough, your in the friends zone, they just don't like you or what other hundred reasons there could be, it's a lost cause.
It doesn't matter if it feels right. Nothing matters even if you click well together. Cuz I know deep down that once that wall is put up, you can only get so close. Close enough to almost feel it, but there's no getting past it. I know somewhere that things just won't work out the way you want them to.
Somewhere I refuse to believe that I could be a lost cause. That what I know is true can change. That what we know is always changing. We come to understandings about different aspects of our life. They always seem to change. Even when we come to an understanding that seems so flawless, it changes and continues until we reach another new and greater understanding. Life constantly changes so our understanding must also change.
I'm going to keep trying even if it breaks me. I can learn to take those risks and push forward. The more you open your heart to love the more you leave it open to hurt. I keep mine closely shut to avoid hurting myself or someone else. I know turning down someone is no fun either.
I won't give up. I'll learn to be more confident. I'll learn to say what I feel. I'm a hopeless romantic, I shouldn't bury it. I'll learn to judge when it's the right time for something, rather than never doing it at all. Maybe I'll even learn a sense of fashion someday. But I won't get ahead of myself.
I don't want to give up.
