One moment



How can one moment change our life for eternity?
Can others feel this too, or is it just me?

The things we say, and the things we do.
Even if we didn't mean for them to.

We can mean them one way, yet they can be taken a whole different way.
We end up feeling sad, we didn't mean it that way, sorry is all we can say.

Perception is always a very fickle thing.
Sometimes bringing havoc, to everyone and everything.

If we just stepped back, and let things sink in.
Sometimes we wouldn't be in this hurt position.

Let us give each other, the benefit of the doubt.
Because we're all in this together, love is what it's about.

I know we can't take back, things of the past.
But think before we speak, because the memories do last!
