Well or valley?


You see that college there... maybe I will go there.
You saw that boy there.. maybe he likes me..
You see this house.. maybe we will stay together here..
You see that ring... maybe he is gonna buy it for me...
You see the old man.. maybe he will donate his whole property to charity.

Maybe.. such a great word filled with anxiety and hopes and fear and painstaking due to level of patience one needs.
Would you pass the exam? maybe.
Will she say yes? maybe.
Would you move abroad? maybe
Would he let you divorce? maybe.
Would you both end up together? maybe.
Every thing answer with maybe is like a kite flying in the sky high waiting to be broken by it's string by the wind or just cut my the other ones.

Often we say maybe even when not wanting.
Would you go out with me? Maybe.
Funny word in fact.
and painful as well..
Maybe he didn't love me..
Maybe this was all a game..
Maybe she was bluffing..
Maybe I was never gonna get that business deal..
maybe I will never see her again..
maybe I won't come back..
maybe they won't let me have my house  back..

But you know what's more painful?
something that feels like double edge dagger?
is..Almost.
Almost gives you the credit for something without it's existence.
He almost loved me.
We almost kissed.
She almost said yes.
I almost got promoted.
I almost let my parents say yes for abroad.
I almost got out of the disease.
We almost got our kid.
I almost hide my feelings all the time.

So what you choose?
Maybe or almost?

Because both are equally thrilling..one is well the other is a valley.. to fall into.
Aren't they?

You take care.
