If you knew it was the last time, what would you do?
If you knew this was the last hug, how long would it last
The last time you said I love you, would you say more
If only you knew it was the last time
Life is like that, we all say, life is too short
Live your life as if today was the last day of your life
Why don't we do that?
Do all humans suffer from memory loss
Do we forget that today might be the very last time
The very last time
And if this is the last time
What do you want that memory to be
Your very last hug
Your very last kiss
The last time you spoke
What would you want those words to be?

Yes Pepper, I do believe all humans suffer from memory loss… This is truly beautiful thank you for writing it and sharing it…

We do need to remember this always. You don't know, each day, each hour, if you will never have the chance again to see someone, to say the right thing.. Somehow it is hard to always do this . Good reminder.
