If tomorrow never comes

Hey bloggers

How are you all doing? Well, I am sure you can guess what this entry will be about. Yeh…you got it…If tomorrow never comes. We can thank Ronan Keeting for realising this song, and bringing our attention to that harsh reality that is: not knowing when you’re all out of chances; when you run out of time…

Ever felt like that? Story time, “Coz I’ve lost love once in my life”…well not exactly love, but a really cute guy! Yep you know that one…my high school crush. When it comes to “talking about feelings” I have learned that guys don’t do well in this topic of conversation. In fact, they fear it. They think that talking about “feelings” is weak, when actually it takes a really strong guy to open up his heart and share his feelings with someone. So girls…if it has happened to you, feel privileged, it doesn’t happen often…in my experience anyway.

Let’s skip straight to the song eh?

Sometimes late at night, I lie awake and watch her sleeping.
She lies in peaceful dreams, so I turn out the lights, and lie there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind, if I never wake in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel about her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Would she know who much I love her
Did I try in everywhere to show her everyday that she my only one
If my time of earth were through, she must face this work without me,
Is the love I gave her in the past, going to be enough to last if tomorrow never comes

Coz I’ve lost love once 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, say each day how much she means to me, avoid that circumstance, where there’s no second chance, to tell how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Would she know who much I love her
Did I try in everywhere to show her everyday that she my only one
If my time of earth were through, she must face this work without me, is the love I gave her in the past, going to be enough to last if tomorrow never comes


Well…some powerful words in there right? I often look back on my life, all 20 years of it, and think about the guys that I have liked. I consider how many of them I have actually opened up to, and confessed my true feelings for. The figures are surprisingly low. So here lies the question, should you always tell someone you have feelings for them? In my experience, it does not always end on a high. Don’t get me wrong, I have told people that I have feelings for them, when I have. And the results…not always as hurtful as some expect. Since my last boyfriend, I have developed a guard. I don’t often let it down, but I have once. Why did I tell him? What was he so special, I hear you ask. Well let me tell about him.

I think I have written about him before, I’m pretty sure I have. There was an attraction at first sight…the first time I saw him before evening talking to him, or being introduced to him. I can’t describe it, it was like…I was overwhelmed with butterflies about meeting him, and him only. In a room full of strangers, he was the only one who spoke to me. There was something in his voice that I will never forget. His kindness led to another meeting some two months later. His friends were invited to my family home, and he came along too. When he shared with me, his long-term plans in life, I was speechless. They matched mine, as a child. Following this we developed a friendship, and a good one at that. It was one based on Christian values, trust and respect. One late night, I was sitting at my computer chatting to a few people on MSN…he being one of them. He spoke about a girl he liked. You know the rest…this in a previous entry “Ever wanted what you can’t have?”

In a nutshell, the reason I told him how I felt about him, is because he confessed to liking me, and I believed it could have gone somewhere, I thought I saw a future there. I thought he’d be the last person I’d ever have to share things like this with; thought I’d give me heart to no other…little did I know what lay around the corner.

Anyway the point is, he knew how I felt about him, and for a while things were fine between us. We never dated, that I must emphasis, we sought the Lord and waited. In time we realised this was not what God wanted for us…sometimes not so easy to accept. There is one person that you should remind how much you love them. Not your girlfriend/boyfriend, mum/dad, brother/sister…God, your Creator, He who gave you life…

How often do we tell Him how much we love Him? Probably not enough…make an effort to tell Him how much He means to us. And of course, tell you partner, parents, family and friends, how much you love them too….that too is important.

Peace
