What if...?

What if you never get to say goodbye? Or rather never get to say I love you? Or even, I'm sorry? What if the words stay stuck in your throat, holding there afraid to whisper past your lips? Afraid those little words would change the world around you, afraid that life would rotate to the opposite of its current position. What if you let too much time go by? Let life dwindle away as the salt through the hour glass. Each moment of time slipping though from the present into the past, seeming so slow yet it’s gone before you’ve even realized the moment was yours to have. What if you don't forgive? What if you hang on to the bitterness and pain? Letting the hurt eat at your soul, letting the pain multiply with each passing day. Causing your heart to harden; becoming like bricks that lay the basis for a hardened home, an angry place. What if you lived in fear? Fearful of tomorrow, of hurt and pain; fearful of what may be. So afraid you never let yourself live life to the fullest. What if you forget to call? What if you break your plans? What if you hold on to yesterday and forget that tomorrow is still coming? What if you lived wholly in the past and never embraced the future and change as it came?

But what if you just let go of all inhibitions? What if you truly loved? What if you placed life on a pedestal and not the material things you think about so often? What if you lived for others and not yourself? What if you let it all go?

What if today was your last day?
