What If I Were Gone?

Contributed by katzie on Wednesday, 5th November 2003 @ 05:12:09 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



So I'm just going to be there
A part of your everyday
For me you take no extra care
Nothing special or out of your way

But what if Your tomorrow comes...
-And what If I'm not there?
Would it carry on like any other;
Or would you genuinely care?

What If I were gone?
What If I left without even saying goodbye
What If I took off, never to return?
What if I gave up- decided not to try?
Tell me what would you do if something happened- and I was gone that day...
Were you last words to me the last ones you ever wanted me to hear you say?
Or are there words you've needed me to hear, but decided to delay?
And are the last things that we did the last things that you ever wanted us to do....
What if I were gone?

We can only live each day one time
And once gone, never to return..
Slips by us then we must leave it behind
There's a lesson to be learned...
Make the best of each and every single day
Live it as if it were your last
Because you never know if tomorrow
All you'd known as come and passed....

But what if Your tomorrow comes...
-And what If I'm not there?
Would it carry on like any other;
Or would you genuinely care?

What If I were gone?
What If I left without even saying goodbye
What If I took off, never to return?
What if I gave up- decided not to try?
Tell me what would you do if something happened- and I was gone that day...
Were you last words to me the last ones you ever wanted me to hear you say?
Or are there words you've needed me to hear, but decided to delay?
And are the last things that we did the last things that you ever wanted us to do....
What if I were gone?

Beautiful. It says it all really. I think we've all felt like that
