The Last Time…… Poem by Abhijit Surve

If I knew it would be the last time.. that in front of me, I'd see you stand..
I would tuck you in more tightly.. Never let you go, i'd Hold your hand..

If I knew it would be the last time.. That I see you walk out the door..
I would give you a hug and kiss.. And call you back for one more..

If I knew it would be the last time.. I'd hear your voice so clear this way..
I would record each action and word.. so I could play back everyday..

If I knew it would be the last time.. I would spare an extra minute or two..
to stop and say how much i care for you.. from this moment, you would know I do..

If I knew it would be the last time.. I would be there to share your day..
well I'm sure we'll not have so many more.. so I can't let just this one slip away..

For surely there's always a tomorrow.. to make up for an lost oversight..
and we always get a second chance.. to turn everything from wrong to right..

There will always be another day.. to share our feelings and emotions..
And certainly there's another chance.. to solve problems with proper solutions..

But just in case I might be wrong.. and today is all that I may get..
I'd like to say how much I love you.. and I hope you never forget..

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.. every one young or old alike..
And today may be the last chance i get.. to hold my dear loved one tight..

So if you're waiting for tomorrow.. Then why not turn to today? ..
For if tomorrow never comes.. you'll surely regret this day..

So hold your loved ones close today.. make a sweet whisper in their ear..
Tell them how much you love them.. and that you'll always hold them dear..

If today is all that you have in hand.. Spare some time to hear and say..
And if tomorrow never comes.. You'll have no regrets about today..
