If Tomorrow Never Comes

There are a ton of things I could write about right now. Many of you readers know what I am going through right now. I am, though, not ready to write about it. I am still learning and searching trying to stabilize and establish myself. I will write about that when I am ready. Until then, here's something:

We all take for granted the people and things around us. This past summer, my Aunt Virgie passed away. She was a third grandmother to me. She had lived thirty minutes from my house for years until they moved to South Arkansas. I became caught up in my high school and college life and only saw her but about three or four times until she died. I deeply regret not putting somehing, anything on hold to go see her and let her know how much I loved her. Every time I think about her now, I tear up. I cannot do that again. I WILL not do that again. I vow to never make that mistake again to anyone I truly love. I think Garth Brooks said it best...

Sometimes late at night

I lie awake and watch her sleeping

Shes lost in peaceful dreams

So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark

And the thought crosses my mind

If I never wake up in the morning

Would she ever doubt the way I feel

About her in my heart

-

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That shes my only one

And if my time on earth were through

And she must face the world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

-

Cause Ive lost loved ones in my life

Who never knew how much I loved them

Now I live with the regret

That my true feelings for them never were revealed

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how much she means to me

And avoid that circumstance

Where theres no second chance to tell her how I feel

-

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That she's my only one

And if my time on earth were through

And she must face the world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

-

So tell that someone that you love

Just what youre thinking of

If tomorrow never comes

Find this song and listen to it. It's always hard to tell people you love them- especially for guys. It's thought to be an feminine and intimate thing, but you dont want to live with this regret.
