Like I’m gonna lose you….

Listening to this song while I was doing my exercises and thinking how true they are for any of us. It’s by Meaghan Trainor and featuring John Legend.

....Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you

[John Legend:]
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer, baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

[Both:]
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you...

It made me think about how precious life and love is. Anyone we love could be gone tomorrow no matter what age they are. To me the song speaks of the importance of making the most of life and time with those who are precious to us. Regardless of whether that is a partner, a spouse, child, parent or friend, we could lose anyone we love in the blink of an eye.

It doesn’t have to be someone with a condition like Parkinson’s, it could be the result of an accident, an undiagnosed health issue and could be sudden or gradual, but the loss is still the same.

You never know what is round the corner and how much time we are going to have with each other.

Life is precious.

Love is precious.

Treasure time with those you love.
