If I knew it would be the last time
I'd see you fall asleep,
I'd tuck you in more tightly,
And pray your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd see you walk out the door,
I'd hug you and kiss you--and call you
Back for just one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
We'd spare a minute or two,
I'd stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd be there to share your day,
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow,
Letting time with you slip away.
For surely there is a tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we'll always get a second chance
To make everything all right.
There will always be another chance
To say our "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
To say our "What I can do."
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say I love you,
And hope you never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today might be your last chance
To hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it all today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You will surely regret the day
You didn't take the extra time
For a smile or hug or kiss.
And you surely aren't too busy to grant
What may be their 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 the time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Forgive me," or "It's okay,"
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today... @Unknown
PS - My closest pal had come down to Mumbai for few days from Indore for her wedding shopping and we all friends took this opportunity to catch up with each other. Due to some other committments, I would be unable to attend her wedding in FEB, O8.
We both had shared our Life's Ups and Downs, be a support to each other in times of despair and multiply our happiness when special occassions were there...I know we both had lots to catcup with, to share and talk about our lives, ever since she moved to Indore from Mumbai. But time was the biggest crunch.
And while I was waving her goodbye, It suddenly struck me that probably this would be the Last Time, I would be seeing my buddy in person as she would be off to US after her marriage...
I know Life goes on...and we all would get busy with our own world...but for the past few days, have been feeling very senti, felt like one beautiful chapter of my life has come to an end and I will miss my sweet friend.
After all the only treasure I cherish, are my Parents, closest Friends and few relatives of mine.
Never lose a moment to tell ur near and dear ones, how special they are to U, cause a moment once gone, might never come back again.
Its never too late to show how much you care, how much you love them....@Rree
