Another soul has left this world, I didn't know her but apparently she was one of our church's congegration. And I was told that she lived a lonely life. No husband, no children, all of her siblings had passed away except for her youngest one. And I wondered when did she hear that someone loved her for the last time. Could be before her husband died, or maybe somebody got the chance to tell her that lately. I have no idea.
I used to hate people who say "I LOVE YOU" easily. I though they were not sincere. I thought those words had become cheap. I thought that they didn't really mean it. But lately I've been the one saying I love you a lot. When I was away & missing my friends, I told them "I Love You" through SMS. When I was just lonely and someone was kind enough to chat with me through the messenger, I typed him/her "I Love You". And you know what? I meant every single "I Love You" that I said or wrote or typed.
It took me losing someone very important in my life to be able to say that from the heart. I was lucky I had the chance to tell her that before she was gone although she no longer be able to say that back to me. That's when I understood the meaning of "tomorrow might not come".
So my "I Love You" is not cheap. My "I Love You" is said, typed, written with a pain of not being able to say it enough and an understanding of I might not have the chance to say it again tomorrow. This song from NELSON is my inspiration to write this entry. And when I say it to you, I hope you can say it back to me, "I LOVE YOU".
Don't be afraid to say "I love you"
Take the moment and make it last
Cause if you don't tell them you love them
You might not get a second chance
So hear them saying...
Love me today, let my strength be your own
Love me today, cause tomorrow I'll be gone
When I feel it's time to go, I'll be on my way
So love me today...
(Love Me Today -- Nelson)
