If you truly love someone, if you can truly imagine to live the rest of your life with them, or better said, if you cannot imagine to live the rest of your life without them, just tell them how you feel, just tell them how they make you feel, just tell them that you're in love with them, for as hard as that step is, it's a lot harder to wait for the perfect moment, and it's a lot harder to live with regret, if and when, somebody else steps in. Because the truth is, you never really know. You never really know, do you? What if they feel the exact same way? What if they're as in love with you as you're in love with them? What if they too cannot imagine
to live the rest of your life without you, just like you cannot imagine to live the rest of your life without them? What if they too are afraid to share their own truth? What if that's the reason they see you as a brother or as a sister, or as best friend, because they're afraid of your reaction, because they want you to stay, and because they don't ever want to lose you? You never really know. What if they too are afraid that you don't feel the same way they feel? Because you see, when two people get along, when two people understand each other, when two people trust each other, when two people believe in each other, and
when two people respect, admire, and adore each other, they cannot be just friends for the rest of their lives. Because their friendship transforms into love. So all you really need is twenty seconds of INSANE courage! If you tell them how you feel, you don't just tell them how you feel, but you also release this secret feeling from your heart, so it doesn't hurt you anymore. Because the truth is, the longer
you keep it within, the more it actually hurts you. If you don't speak up, somebody else will speak up instead of you. And then you will lose them for someone who may look like you, talk like you, and act like you, but is nothing like you, and they will lose YOU for someone who may look like them, talk like them, and act like them, but is nothing like them! You will find their replacement and they will find
your replacement, you will replace them, and they will replace you. But what then? They will seek love in someone who is nothing like you, and you will seek love in someone who is nothing like them. You will try to love and they will try to love, but it won't be the same. It just won't be the same. Because when you truly love someone with your whole heart, you cannot replace that kind of love. It's impossible to
replace that kind of love, because that kind of love is always there. It's alive. It lives! And it cannot be replaced! You cannot replace what makes you feel alive, you cannot replace what truly makes you feel happy. That's why loving someone is the most wonderful feeling in the world, but also one of the most complicated feelings in the world, because you never know what reaction is going to be like. Yet, if you don't tell, you may wonder for the rest of your life. You may lose them for someone else and wonder if they'd choose you, if you actually had the courage to tell them. It's hard, it's very hard, when you don't know what to expect. It's very hard when you are afraid you're going to lose your friendship.
But you want to know something? When you are young you think differently as when you are older. When you are young, you are afraid, but when you are older, you wonder why you are afraid, why you were afraid when you were younger. Mind that is young works and thinks differently from the mind that is old. Young mind is filled with worry, while the old mind is filled with regrets of things it refused in the past.
That's why the mind that is young is too afraid to take action, and the old mind is not afraid to take action. So don't be afraid to take action! Choose what you know is the right thing to do! Choose to say it! Twenty seconds of courage is all you need. Maybe they want to hear you say it! Maybe they too need twenty seconds of insane courage and are thus waiting for you to make a move, because they cannot make a move! You can, you should, and you must! Because you never know, you never really know. Maybe, just maybe, true love is already out there for both of you to finally experience it!
