Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
"One Sweet Day" is a song by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men released back in 1995. This song is originally inspired by a death of Mariah Carey's friend.
I recently remember 2 friends, my ex-classmates who have passed away. Friends whom i've missed alot lately. Remembering them is all i can do. And I realized that I've not even grief properly over them. As the words of the song implies, I assumed them to always be there, always take it for granted, without realizing that they might leave one day. These abilities to remember and feel are meant to make me stronger, thankful and more grateful with what i have. Unlike them, I'm still alive. Unlike them, I'm still able to see my family & friends, feel their love and care. And unlike them, I still have the chance to experience more of this world...
Dying in such a young age is really terrifying, for their families, and for us, whom they called 'friend'. But I guess God loves them more.. May both of them rest in peace in Heaven..
In memory of..
Fan, died of brain tumor, age 16 (1981-1997).
Yin, died of heart complication, age 22 (1982-2005).
