Sometimes we don't realize
how much we really care
for somenoe we love
until they are gone
leaving sadness and fear

Sometimes we don't realize
what a great friend they are
until they are gone
down another path
like a fading star

Sometimes we don't realize
what a great chance we had
until it opens for someones else
and leaves beyond grasp
leaving you frustrated and mad

And other times, we act
without trying to realize
an unconscious gesture of a hug
or a kiss on the cheek
someones heart you will tug

When we act now
it saves us the fear
it chooses a path
you step into gear
and pulled into lifes grasp
