If I knew that today would be the last time...by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

If I knew that today would be the last time 
I’d see you, 
I would hug you tight 
and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. 

If I knew that this would be the last time 
you pass through this door,
I’d embrace you, kiss you,
and call you back for one more.

If I knew that this would be the last time
I would hear your voice,
I’d take hold of each word
to be able to hear it over and over again.

If I knew this is the last time
I see you, I’d tell you I love you,
and would not just assume foolishly
you know it already.

~ Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
