le vingt troisième

There are the millions of people you will never talk to,
quite simply because you will never meet them.

Then there are the thousands you will never talk to again,
though you won't even notice.

There are the hundreds you will never talk to again,
for you can never seem to find the courage.

There are the dozens you will never talk to again,
no matter how hard you try to say the words.

There are the few you will never talk to again,
as a result of your own hatred and pride.

Then there are the ones you will never talk to again,
because you will never get the chance.

Those are the ones you will miss,
and those are the words you will utter to the universe
because there is no one else fit to hear them.

So when you talk to those ones, don't just talk.
Speak.
