"Why Hesitate" by Henry Gillard Glindoni (1899)When you want to profess that you like her, you hold yourself back for fear of the outcome of rejection & gossip.
When you could have the courage to declare your true feelings to her, you hesitate for fear of a worst outcome.
When you want to hold her hand, you dare not for fear that she shies away from you.
When you could have delivered gestures of interest (flowers or gifts), you dismiss that thought for fear that she would return it back.
When you should have shared your true troubles with her, a candidate for lifetime companionship, you instead resort to keeping it inside or disclosing it to other much closer friends.
When you should have invested more time to probe for actual signs of interest, you'd rather busy yourself with short term distractions.
Now she has found her own candidate. You are only able to wish her well, that her future mate would likely provide for her needs & wants.
Heartbroken you are still sitting in that same dark corner. Lonely. Crying. Perhaps drunk even.
It does not serve as a consolation that it was all in your mind. A fabrication of false expectations & perceived reality.
However, licking your emotional wounds, you know this experience had made you stronger. Hopefully, in future, you would be all the wiser.
But how much punishment can a man take? Must one always be pushed to choose either to bend or break?
No... Wait... Let us recollect: You have always been hesitant from the start.
All this talk about Like; Love; Heart; Her. Are you really seeking for your soulmate? Or are you merely wanting her simply for the purpose of matching your peers who have found their better half?
Search your heart; Search your soul. When you're finally there, you'll search no more.
(This was part of the lyrics from "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams)
Then, probably you would not be hesitant no more.
