Wait right there. Oh no, I'm paddling away

Wait right there. Oh no, I'm paddling away

"Wait right there. Oh no, I'm paddling away." These words echoed in my mind as I stood frozen in place, watching as the person I had been waiting for began to drift away. It was a moment of panic and realization that I had let them slip through my fingers.

I had been waiting for this person for what felt like an eternity. I had been anticipating their arrival, hoping for a chance to finally speak to them and express my feelings. But now, as they started to paddle away, I felt a sinking feeling in my chest. I had missed my opportunity, and now they were slipping further and further out of reach.

As I stood there, rooted to the spot, I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret wash over me. Why hadn't I spoken up sooner? Why had I let fear and doubt hold me back? Now, as I watched them disappear into the distance, I knew that I had let my chance slip away.

But as the initial shock wore off, a sense of determination began to take hold. I couldn't let this be the end of the story. I couldn't let this person drift away without at least trying to reach out to them. So, with a newfound sense of purpose, I began to paddle after them.

The water was choppy, and the distance between us seemed to grow with each passing moment. But I refused to give up. I pushed myself harder, digging my paddle into the water with all my strength. I was determined to catch up to them, to make things right, to finally have the conversation I had been waiting for.

And as I drew closer, I could see the surprise and confusion on their face. They hadn't expected me to follow, to chase after them with such determination. But I couldn't let them slip away without a fight.

As I reached their side, out of breath and heart pounding, I knew that I had made the right choice. I had taken a chance, I had pushed past my fears, and I had finally reached out to the person I had been waiting for. And as we sat there, side by side, I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in our story.
