Requiem definition: A musical service, hymn or dirge for the dead
We often hear that life is to short
But we never feel it till the death of a loved one
We always wish that we had more time
We think of the words left unsaid
Of the actions left undone
Of the time we could have spent together
The wrongs that could have been fixed
So rarely do we think about these things before a loss
So let this be a requiem
That we remember
I love you is only three words
That mean the world
And cost us nothing
Time is the most valuable resource we have
So spend it with those that matter
Let this be our requiem
Let this be our remembrance of the dead
To not let those sweet moments pass without us
to spend our precious time with those we hold dear
To say I Love You everyday
Let this be our requiem
What will you leave behind
What words will you be remembered by
What will be your last text
Your last call
What words will you leave behind
What echoes will you leave in your wake
What will be your requiem
What will you leave behind
WIth your actions and your words
What effect do you have
What song will they sing when you’re gone

So many thing we fail to say to those we love, until we run out of time, the regrets, overflowed, and, it’s still, too late, as, we have, run out of, time that we thought was, eternal.
