Life

I was listening to "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol and I was thinking about these lyrics:

"I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life "

The lyrics to this song always invoke some thought for me.

It made me think about the way we seem to rush through life with little thought about actually living it. We say we love people but we don't really do enough to show them that we love them. I think we need to say it and act on it before it is too late. Sometimes perhaps we need to stop and focus on those we love and let everything else go by for awhile. We are taught from a young age that we shouldn't waste time and that we need to hurry, hurry, hurry, but we never realize that when we do that we are letting life and love pass us by.

I hope to try to change this some in myself before it's too late.
