"I hate your cooking",
"This is the best apple pie I've ever had",
"I LOVE you",
"This isn't going to work out".
"I LOVE you",
"That blouse doesn't work for you".
"I LOVE you"
"I LOVE you!"
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Tell them,
we aren't promised tomorrow.
Tell them today
right now,
this very second.
Tell them tomorrow,
Saturday,
Halloween,
Christmas Eve,
the day your child is born.
Tell them when you hate them,
don't hate.
Tell them when they've wronged you,
time and time again.
Tell them when they don't deserve it.
Tell them when they do deserve it.
Tell them just to tell them,
just so they don't forget.
Just tell them.
Life is too precious.
I LOVE you.
This was written at a weird point in my life, I had just lost both my Grandfathers in the duration of a week and couldn't grasp the concept of 'death' and found myself putting words down in a journal. Words I wanted to tell them one last time.
