“Say It Now”
We keep the most important things
for later.
The phone call we mean to make.
The visit we keep postponing.
The three words sitting
at the edge of the tongue
for years —
waiting for the right moment
that never announces itself.
Here is what nobody tells you
about the right moment —
it already passed.
Three times.
While you were waiting
for certainty,
for courage,
for the perfect arrangement of circumstances
that life never actually provides.
The people who matter most
are not asking for the perfect words.
They are asking for your presence.
Your honesty.
The simple, brave act
of reaching across
whatever distance has grown
and saying —
I see you.
I value you.
I am glad you exist.
Do not save that
for a eulogy.
Say it now —
while the person is still
in the room.
