I Want to Live Life to the Fullest
I have always tried to live my life to the fullest.. grab every opportunity and make the most out of every situation. I do this because I am afraid... I am afraid of letting my life pass me by. I am afraid that my life may one day come to an end, without me ever properly living it.
So I shed my shackles and I lived. Perhaps I lived a bit faster and harder than I was supposed to... but at least I can call it a life. It just takes its toll eventually. It exhausts you to constantly grasp after every opportunity in the hope that nothing slips through your fingers. After all, you cannot follow every path... eventually you must choose which way to turn at the forks you encounter in the road.
I am satisfied with the decisions I have made and the experiences that led me to be here right now. I chose my path... a path that is neither ahead of- nor behind you. A path I hope can run paralel to yours until we find the place where these roads can meet.
You will never be the cage that holds me down - fear not, for neither of us will allow that to happen. Instead I regard you as the flame that cut through the darkest of my nights... the spark of light that illuminated truths I was too afraid to acknowledge. Proof that even the most broken amongst us still have a chance to live the life we want - if we are willing to fight for it.
I stay not because you trapped me here, I stay because there is no place I would rather be. I stay because I would rather wait for you to walk beside me than continue down a path without you. There will be no need to look back to you if you are walking by my side.
There will be no space for regret if I don't let the things I want pass me by.
So I say this to you now; never feel guilty about this decision of mine. My mind was made up before I even set foot into that restaurant. It was my choice. I choose to live life to the fullest. I choose happiness. I choose you - regardless of where this path may lead.
With this I can say that I find myself excited about the future and all it may hold in store, not just for me, but for the both of us - together.
