In memory of John Suarez, my ex-boyfriend. I am praying for those who were injured and/or lost their lives today. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone!

If I had a second chance
I'd re-do all I've said and done
Tragedy struck in a split second
And now you're gone

It goes to show
that every minute is priceless
My thoughts are shaken up
By the thought of your body sprawled lifeless

Time is a precious gift
Memories can't be purchased at a store
I don't want to accept the fact
that I won't see you anymore

Never again will I hear you voice
Or reach out and feel your touch
You meant the world to me
but I never showed it that much

I can't believe I lost you
Without a single warning sign
This has given me a wake up call
For all the times I was blind

If I had a second chance to see you
And one last thing to say
I'd tell you that your life was a gift
that you shared with me each day

Even though without you
life doesn't seem worth livin
Still I'll go on
And fulfill the life I've been given

If you were here
You would tell me to be strong
To never look back
Only forward, and move on

I wish I would've shown you more love
but now it is far too late
You are in heaven now with the angels
Rest in peace my sweet soulmate

Im sorry...
I wish I could have a second chance
Now I'm aware that sometimes
you only get a first chance
