Like you'll never see me again

It may be cliché, but it usually takes something drastic for us to change.

Today, one of my friends died. Just like that.

He was running a half marathon and sometime near the end, his heart gave out.

It's also cliché to say (or pretend) that you're living life to the fullest or like it's the last day of your life when you actually expect to have another day to continue. Another day to finish what you started. Another day to tell someone you love them for the first time, or remind someone that you do. We need to do it at least every now and then.

[Alicia Keys - Like you'll never see me again.]

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again
