Three Little Words...

Some subjects in life are touchy and therefore, people will often avoid it. Though some subjects are unavoidable, it is often talked about indirectly. 'Beating around the bush' is a common practice to evade unwanted topics. There are also some topics that is difficult to express and therefore, it takes a misleading turn rather than giving a straightforward response. A conversation even between two people, people that are close such as lovers, can feel a little awkward when the discussion is something that takes courage to say. In other words, it take guts to speak your mind despite the risk of having an unsuccessful outcome.

For example, have you ever had a phone conversation with someone you think you might be in love with? The layout at first is usually small talks about school, people you're both acquainted with, family life, food, music, among other interests. Once in a while though especially when you're getting closer to that certain person, small talks leads to subjects that, to some, are hard to talk about. You know, subjects about marriage, sex, death, the future of your relationship, and so on. It is often difficult because you don't want to impose or give a bad impression to that special someone. You don't want them thinking differently of you and so you sometimes hesitate when you're trying to make a point about tensed matter. And so, pauses sometimes occur because you can't find the right words to say.

When you're trying to indicate that you like someone you'd do anything to give that impression, right? Sometimes, however, you can't really say it outright because you think about the outcome of it. It's not that you're unsure of your feelings, it's that you're unsure of the response she'll give you. It makes you worry about what she'll think. It changes things. For better or for worse? It depends.

Ironically, I too, am beating around the bush as I write this post. I don't want to express my feelings to the fullest knowing that I might change some things about my relationship with Ris. I mean, confessing that I like her became a natural expression among us. But, sometimes I wonder about other things. Things that are mentioned above. Things like what will become of us after two years. Or things like is she the one? Am I the one? You know, as of right now, I wonder when I'll get the chance to say the most powerful three little words...
