If I Had No Tomorrow

If I Had No Tomorrow

Broken hearts,
angry words,
built up walls
never fall,
insults too often hurled;
but second chances
not often granted
to forgive in this world.

Take a moment
to take stock of our life.
It makes no difference
who is wrong or who’s right.
Would it really matter
if this was our last night?

If I had no tomorrow,
would you regret yesterday?
Would you give everything
to take it all back
and love me a different way?
Would you forgive my imperfections
and let go of all the pain
if I had no tomorrow?

Silly games,
foolish pride.
Won’t give in,
but cannot win
if amends isn’t tried.
We shouldn’t give up
on what’s a good love.
Our hearts, we shouldn’t hide.

Time to let go,
leave the past in the past.
Every moment
should be treated like our last,
because you never know;
time moves by us so fast.

If I had no tomorrow,
would you regret yesterday?
Would you give everything
to take it all back
and love me a different way?
Would you forgive my imperfections
and let go of all the pain
if I had no tomorrow?

In the end, my dear,
what matters most
is that I’m here,
with arms and heart
open to you; and I know
that this petty fight
would seem so slight
if I had no tomorrow.
