REGRET

 

  

 

 Some Souls

Some souls are too extraordinary, too beautiful to remain out of paradise.

No matter how painful it is for the rest of us to let them go ...

 So that you don't die

So that you don't die
I prayed day and night
A God I didn't know
To keep you alive
I prayed on my knees
So that he leaves you to us.

 

 

 I was praying
That I was reciting to myself
When I was a child
I said Our Father
Hail Mary. 

And I searched in vain
In the sky below
Moments of respite
That I finally found
In the hollow of your arms.
 To keep you alive
I would have prayed to Buddha.

So that you don't die
I looked down
Deep down in yours
To heal your grief.
I would have liked someone to help me
To find the cure. 

 

 

 

I would have changed history
To erase the days
Which deposited black
Around your love
To break its course.
  I wish I could have
Flying to your rescue.

So that you don't die
I sang some evenings
All songs of hope
That I was writing for you 

 

 

And I went up so high
Towards the infinitely beautiful
To be able to report
A bit of eternity
To offer you as a gift  

 

 When I opened my heart to you
By caressing your skin
Like touching a treasure
You fought so well
We felt so strong.
I would have looked further
So that you still live.

 

 I will never know
What of it all
Kept us together
The courage to live
Or trembling happiness.

 But I bless heaven
For saving you
When at nightfall
I can hear you breathing.

 

 And I know the price
From every moment of peace
What we have to offer today.
And the love we needed
To keep you here.
So that you don't die
I would have given my life.

           If I had known!

"If I had known ...

If I had known that this would be the last time I would see you fall asleep,
I would have kissed you as hard as I could.

If I had known it would be the last time I'd see you walk through the door,
I would have hugged you very tightly.

If I had known it would be the last time I would hear your voice,
I would have recorded it to listen to it every day.

If I had known it would be the last time, I would have taken the time to stop. and say "I love you" instead of assuming you knew it.

If I had known it was going to be the last time, I would have stayed there to share that day with you instead of thinking that you had so many others to live through, that it didn't matter to let it go by without seeing you.

We can always put off until tomorrow what we could do today.
You always get a second chance. That's what we believe.

Tomorrow we can say "I love you". "you're important to me."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"

But you never know, today is all I have and I want to tell you how much I love you.
Tomorrow, let's never forget, is never a certainty, just a promise.
Today may be our last chance to say our love.

If you are thinking of doing it tomorrow, why not today?
Because if tomorrow never comes, you might regret not having taken this moment for a smile, a caress, a kiss, a hug, an attention that will have been his last wish, his last joy.

Take the time to hug your loved ones,
whisper tender words to them,
tell them how much you love them, how much you will always love them.

Take the time to tell them "Excuse me", "I'm sorry", "thank you", "there's no problem", to look at them with a loving look.

If tomorrow never comes, you will have no regrets about what today could have been!"
