We cannot really say when death comes.
I guess that is the time when we really appreciate life.
When it comes to someone we love, it is more painful.
Painful to breathe, painful to live, painful to mend our hearts.
People do not really know how to appreciate God’s gift.
They only ask and beg when it is taken,
but never thank when it is there.
Sometimes we do not even know how lonely it is until it is gone.
Sometimes we could not even say ‘I love you’ until we realize there is no one to love us.
We never care about the one we love,
Until one day there is no one to care about us.
Death, we cannot see, nor smell or touch.
But before death does come, I think it is time,
that we should say the things we want to say,
give the things we want to share,
appreciate the things we want to love,
and know that though death comes,
we had shared all the moments together,
without regrets.
