tomorrow ain’t promise

“Hey, just checking in. Love you. Call me back when you can.”

Dial tone.

⸻

We act like tomorrow’s something we’re owed,

Chasing money and dreams while life moves on.

Missed calls, late nights, saying, “I’ll make time,”

Never knowing everything can change overnight.

One minute you’re laughing on a late-night drive,

Next minute you’re staring at old pictures, asking why.

The little moments matter more than we know,

So tell them that you love them while they’re still close.

⸻

Life moves fast, don’t blink, don’t wait,

Everything can change in a second, no escape.

One more hug, one more laugh, one more ride,

You never know when it’s your last goodbye.

Hold your people close, don’t let pride win,

Say what’s in your heart, let forgiveness begin.

Tomorrow ain’t promised, that’s the truth for us all,

Tell them that you love them before it’s your last call.

⸻

I’ve seen whole worlds change from one bad night,

Seen strong people break trying to stay strong inside.

It’s the little things you miss when they’re gone—

Their voice, their smile, hearing them sing along.

So call your mom, hug your dad, tell your friends they’re enough,

Kiss your partner a little longer when times get tough.

‘Cause when the clock runs out, it don’t care who you are,

Life can change in a moment, so love with your whole heart.

⸻

Life moves fast, don’t blink, don’t wait,

Everything can change in a second, no escape.

One more hug, one more laugh, one more ride,

You never know when it’s your last goodbye.

Hold your people close, don’t let pride win,

Say what’s in your heart, let forgiveness begin.

Tomorrow ain’t promised, that’s the truth for us all,

Tell them that you love them before it’s your last call.

⸻

“Just wanted to say I love you.”
