Analysis of Sometimes



Sometimes there are no next times,
there are no second chances to say "I love you".

Sometimes people leave and never say "Goodbye".

Sometimes you lose someone and you feel like your heart has followed that person to heaven.

Then again, sometimes there is nothing you can do about it.

So sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people, but we never actually forget them.

And sometimes, it is those memories that give us the strength to go on-Because if it happens, we have to understands that God lets it happen for a reason.
