Don't Wait!

by Kayla Sonya Dearing   Apr 21, 2005


Take it from me
Take it from someone who experience it
Don't wait
To tell someone how you feel.

Take it from me
Take it from my heart
Take it from my past
Don't wait

I never told my uncle
I loved him,
Even though I was young
I still shouldn't have waited

I never told my grandfather
I love him
Even though I didn't know when his time was to go
I shouldn't have waited

I lost two people
I lost my uncle
I lost my grandfather
Don't wait

If you think
That you can tell someone you love them tomorrow
That they won't leave
It may be to late.

Take it from me
Take it from my heart
Take it from my pain
Take it from my memories

I wish
I didn't wait
I could go back
Tell them I loved them before I lost them

Don't make the same mistakes
Don't carry the pain the way I have to
Don't live your life
Knowing you didn't tell someone how you feel

You may have your fights together
You may have your fun together
You may have everything together
But Don't wait till tomorrow

Don't wait till tomorrow
Because there may not be a tomorrow
Don't wait till tonight
Because there may not be a tonight

You never know
When they're going to die
You never know
So please don't wait

Every day I wish I didn't wait
Every day I try to block the memories
Every day I wish I could go back
Every day I remember what I didn't get to say

When my grandfather died
I was really upset
My mom and him got into a fight
And he kicked us out

I never told him
"I love you"
I never told him
How I felt

When my uncle died
I was really young
He told my grandma
"Keep her away from me"

My grandma said
"Try to explain to her"
But I was too young
I didn't know what was going on

Now I wish
I told them both I loved them
I told them that they'll be in my heart forever
I told them how much they mean to me

So don't wait
Because you could lose someone you love
Today
Tomorrow
Maybe years from now

But don't take the chance
Don't think that they'll live forever
Don't think that they'll live tomorrow
You never know when their last day is.

So please
Listen to my heart
Listen to my pain
Don't wait to tell someone you love them.
