PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I knew it would be the last time
that I would see you fall asleep
I would lay in your arms
and give you my heart 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 would hear your voice whispering sweet nothings into my ear
I would record each syllable and word
so I could play them back day after day, year after year
If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say
I love you
instead of assuming you know I do
if I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day
I would be sure it was your best
before it slipped away
for surely there's always
tomorrow to make up for an oversight
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right
there will always be another day to
say I love you
and certainly theres another chance to
ask anything I can do?
but just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get
I would like to say how much I love you
and I hope you never forget
Tomorrow is not promised
anyone, young or old alike
and today may be the last chance I get to
hold my loved one tight
I was waiting for tomorrow but
why not do it today
for if tomorrow never comes
I will surely regret the day
that I didnt take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, a kiss.
and I was too bust to grant someone
what turned out to be their one last wish
so I will hold my loved one close today
whisper in their ear
tell them how much I love
and that I will always hole them dear.
take time to say Im sorry please forgive me
thank you or its okay
and if tomorrow never comes I will have
no regrets about today
