The Last Time

What if the last time you kissed me was really the last time?

What if the last time you held me close to you was really the last time?

What if the last time you held my hand in yours was really the last time?

What if the last time you touched my face and said, "I love you," was really the last time?

What if the last time I looked into your eyes and saw just how much you cared about me was really the last time?

What if the last time I saw you was really the last time?

I wish I had known. I would have held on a little longer and a little tighter. I would have looked just a little longer. I would have said, "I love you," just one more time. Now I can't. And the last time I did any of it may have been THE last. For six long months. Until you're eighteen, and they can no longer control you. Until then...I may have been with you for the last time...and I didn't even know it.
