Time does not stand still and its funny (but not funny) how if you miss one given moment to do something, see something, give something or even to love something/someone, if you miss that moment, you can't get it back.

If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
'Til you can't

That moment could be the only opportunity you have. Don't miss its.
Funerals are not the place to say I love you. The deceased cannot hear you.
