ever wonder?

I think I've discovered
It's not that people are so afraid
of letting only one person into their heart
its letting what's in their heart
onto that one person.

And maybe its not their own shadow
that some people try and avoid
It's the knowledge
of what fills in the black gap
between the outlines
of their own soul

Or for those afraid of
placing a ring on
their dainty finger
It's not worrying about what you will do
its regretting what you already did

While we're on this subject
I'd like to make a shout out
to those not so outspoken
because those people
would probably be the ones
to do the best shouting



and everyone needs to listen to The Luckiest, by Ben Fold's at least once a week. We'd all be better off that way.
