If tomorrow never comes

I posted this on my facebook status a while ago and got some interesting responses. Some felt that I was being depressing, some that I was thinking about it too hard, and one that said it never actually comes, because by the time it gets here… it is today.

What got me thinking about this was a song I was listening to.  The lyrics that caught me were “If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I love her… will she know how much I care.. is the love I gave her in the past, going to be enough to last… if tomorrow never comes…”

It made me wonder… Do those that I love really know how I feel? How important they are to me, what they do for me?

My aunt and I laughed about it and quoted some more songs.. “Live like you were dying” was one.

So then I thought about it some more….  I think that it should be important to do that… to live like you were dying. In some ways though, not going overboard.

I want to make sure that my every day actions and thing that I say show people what they mean to me, how much I care. Wouldn’t you like to be told daily that you are appreciated, loved even? It would make my day just a little bit more bearable, pleasant. To know what I mean to someone, to know that they love me, appreciate me and cherish my friendship. Wow.

I think it would be easier to fall asleep at night. Maybe I might stop wishing I wouldn’t wake up.

I hope that in the next few months I can make a habit of this. To let others know how I feel. To be sure that they know what they mean to me. Because there are always those what-ifs….  What if I don’t wake up.
