Don't Let Tommorrow Regret for Today
佚名/Anonymous
假如我知道這將是最后一次看你入睡,我會(huì)為你把被子掖得更緊,并“懇求上帝,讓你的靈魂留下”。
假如我知道這將是最后一次看你走出家門,我會(huì)擁抱你,親吻你,一遍遍地呼喚你歸來。
假如我知道這將是最后一次聽到你的聲音在贊揚(yáng)中高亢,我會(huì)錄下你的每一個(gè)舉動(dòng),每一句言語,這樣我可以日復(fù)一日地不停重放。
假如我知道這將是最后一次說“我愛你”,我會(huì)騰出時(shí)間或停下手中的事來告訴你,而不會(huì)自負(fù)地以為你已經(jīng)知道了。
假如我知道這將是最后的時(shí)光,我會(huì)陪在你的身邊。我總以為你還有更多的時(shí)間,所以總讓這天悄然流逝。
因?yàn)槲铱傄詾檫€有明天可以彌補(bǔ)疏漏,我們還有下一次機(jī)會(huì)讓一切變得美好。
總以為還有另一個(gè)日子,去說“我愛你”,也總以為還有下一次機(jī)會(huì),去說“我能幫你什么嗎?”
但是,萬一我錯(cuò)了,我只能擁有今天,我愿意說一千遍一萬遍“我愛你”,讓我們永不相忘。
明天不會(huì)被承諾給任何人,年輕人也好,老年人也罷。今天也許是你緊緊擁抱愛人的最后一次機(jī)會(huì)。
所以,如果你在等待明天,為什么不在今天就行動(dòng)?
因?yàn)椋绻魈煊啦粊砼R,你必定會(huì)為今天后悔……
你后悔沒有騰出更多的時(shí)間去微笑、擁抱、親吻。后悔自己如此忙碌,沒有幫別人實(shí)現(xiàn)他們最后的愿望。
所以,今天就緊緊擁抱你的心愛之人吧,對他們耳語,你深深地愛著他們,并將永遠(yuǎn)珍惜。
騰出一些時(shí)間說聲“對不起”“請?jiān)彙薄爸x謝”或者“沒關(guān)系”。
即使明天永不來臨,你也不會(huì)為今天后悔。
If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and "pray the Lord, your soul to keep".
If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss you, and call you back for more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time I could spare an extra minute or so to stop and say "I love you" instead of assuming you would know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip 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 our "I love you", and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"
But, just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For, if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day …
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss, and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So, hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, that you love them very much and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry" "Please forgive me" "Thank you" or "It's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
