I got this poem in an E-mail from my sister... It makes me alittle sad... but its true, and I felt like I needed to Share it.
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,!
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will l always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn! 't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
Like I said, it makes me alittle sad. And stop and think. We were watching a 9/11 video in Socialogy, like an actual videotape from when the planes hit, and the towers fell. How everyone reacted, the words people used... It brought me to tears, and made me realize that life can vanish that easily. So, with all my wisdom (not) after reading this, I think people should be honest with one another. Tell the person you love, you love them. Tell the person that you care most for, you care for them, because if you don't you might never get the chance. I wish I could tell him how I feel for him, unfortunetly, I am never good at taking my own advice... the last time I tried... didn't end so well... but I wish I could... and I know I will, eventually... and I must say, the sooner the better. Don't pause to think about whether to tell someone warm words, that should make them feel good. If you do you regret... Everytime he's on, I want to talk to him, I want to IM him, but I don't and when he signs off, I regret not saying a simple 'Hi'. I feel like I am being all mushy, ranty, and probibly annoying, but I just have to get this out somewhere... I haven't been feeling that great since Saturday, and now I need to vent all my built up emotion somewhere. And doing it here is the easiest. If you do it directly to someone, you feel an obligation to say names, and reasons why you feel that why, I neither wanted to say his name, nor did I want to say what is making me feel down, inside. I just want people know this is how I feel, and know I have this mystery (who isn't so mystery to some) person that I think about.
The best feeling is when you tell someone you love them, and they return those feelings. I believe I am at the age to start feeling true love, and maybe, I do feel it, it seems much more strong than crushs that kids get. Or maybe I am just over exagerating, and making it seem much more to me than need be. But please, to make me feel better about... me, tell the one you love you love them. It could do good, and though we wall fear rejection, it is the best threpy to get over the love you hide within yourself. Now I am off, to try and take my own advice... I will tell him... sooner... rather than later... I hope anyway.
