I Thought it was You

When I received the call, my heart dropped, I couldn't talk. Disbelief covered my being.
Tears rolled down my face. I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

And to think I was angry with you. Didn't want to hear what you had to say, putting off our love for another day.

Not talking to you, ignoring your calls and texts. You made me mad and I didn't want to hear anything you said.

Staring at myself in the glass, I repeated, "Why was I so selfish? Why did I let pride get in the way?" The only thing I could think of was revenge and making you pay.

Hurt someone you claim to love? That's not functional. You get what you give.
And now I would do anything just for you to live...

Realizing I loved you more than I would ever admit. Reminiscing about the time we spent.

This experience has changed me. I remember death now. Reality is here.
It doesn't feel good. The pain is real. And oh how I want you near.

Cherish life. Tell your loved ones you love them. Talk things out. And don't live with regrets. Express yourself while a person still has breath.

I love you and I don't care who knows. The game is over. Okay, you win.
Stubbornness gets you nowhere. I know you still want to be my friend...

Hurt no more. I will never leave or dismiss you.
You've taught me a valuable lesson. Now, I know what to do.

You are still here. Thank God, I still have time left; time to tell you how I really feel. You don't have to wonder now you know the real deal.

I will practice what I preach, because this near death experience has made me appreciate your touch. Let me end this by saying, "I love you so much."

Because I thought it was you. I will never take you for granted again. Join me and allow our hearts to mend...

~Cherish Life. Treat others with respect, love, and gratitude. Never leave angry or upset. Express yourself and exit with love. Live with no regrets. And remember to keep it happy!

In Memory of Kirkland Randall. Thank you for placing smiles on our faces and making us look and feel beautiful. We love you, you will be missed dearly...
