Look back...

I watch as the tear falls from her cheek. Time keeps ticking, but in that moment everything stops for what seems like minutes.She was her best friend, the person she confided everything with. She was my friend as well. So when I looked down and saw all our feet huddled around in a circle, a painful lump started in my throat when I had to accept that there was a set of feet missing.
Time will never stop, no matter how hard you wish it would.
Time will never reverse, so you could fix the things you wish I could.
The fact is, people will come and go in our life, and it won't necessarily be an easy ride. Life is tricky, nothing is for certain, and time is never set in stone. One second everything is fine, when the next second a person you care about could be gone forever.
What I am trying to get at is, take every second you've got and make something out of it. Take chances, laugh, and cry. Take every day like it is your last, because one day it might. Make sure that when that one day does comes, you can look back and and not regret the time you had...

When...

"I'm standing in the rain, as my hair falls in my face.
It's hard to see, like a hazey window pane....
I can't see in front of me
If in my future it's you I see..."

I've said that if you really like someone, then they are worth the wait...
A question came across my mind recently that brought me back to this certain subject. Patience is a virtue right? But after how many disappointments, hopes crushed, and heart breaking events does the virtue of patience turns to hopelessness.
This, I do not have a perfect answer to, or an answer at all. When you are young you never know if the person you are falling for is the right person. Because, you will fall in love, break your heart, and cry numerous times in your life. It is just life, cause you never know if your falling for the right person till you give them a chance.
This though, does not leave my question answered.
If you fall for someone who at the moment does not have the mutual feeling, when is it worth holding on, and when is it time to moving on?
How can you ever be sure?
