The What-If
March 15, 2010 
And what if I die tomorrow.
Then there’d be no chance to show how important you are to me.
Then there’d be no chance to shed off the tears I’ve been holding for quite a time.
Then there’d be no chance to wrap you in my arms as I’ve been long imagining.
Then there’d be no chance to give my warmest kiss on your soft cheeks.
And all that would have left are the lousy words I wrote here.
And all would have known of me is the cowardice I haven’t knocked down.
To live is to love. To love is to live.
And I love you.
I hope I’ve touched your soul even in the tiniest way. Because that’s how I want to live.
To leave a smile on your face when you think of me.
