If tomorrow never comes...

If tomorrow never comes,
cry only for a little while
for there are many memories to hold on to

If tomorrow never comes,
cherish my love for music
as well as my love for poetry

If tomorrow never comes,
be not ashamed of the secrets to be revealed
for they are now all that is left

If tomorrow never comes,
I'm sorry, I tried
but I just haven't tried hard enough

If tomorrow never comes,
I've made many mistakes
but they have defined me

If tomorrow never comes,
remember my dreams and aspirations
cry because of my lack of motivation

If tomorrow never comes,
realize, that I realized
I didn't act soon enough with my gift

If tomorrow never comes,
promise me some things;
     promise me that you'll never go to bed mad
          that you'll send a simple text message just to say you're sorry
     promise me that you'll be forgiving
          and remember, I tried my hardest at that too
     promise me you'll say "I love you" to those you truly do
          and don't forget to love on your animals too
     promise me you'll do something for the kids'
          they're the hope we must hold on to
     promise me that you'll stand up for what is right
          a little rebellion is needed for success
     promise me that you'll be giving
          and that you'll do onto other what should be done onto you

If tomorrow never comes
let it be known that everyone who I ever met
we shared an experience
and whatever experience that might have been
Thank you

Because if tomorrow never comes
you all must be told how important you are
how you matter
and how precious life truly is
A gift
