If I knew that today would be the last time Iād 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, Iād embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more.

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