Five (5) Minutes

Five minutes until yesterday.
Five minutes from tomorrow.
Standing five whole minutes from happiness and sorrow.
The future lies in the past some say and when tomorrow becomes yesterday
We’ll be caught forever in today wishing we were still five minutes away.
Saying good-bye is hard to say, when forever is only five minutes away. Five minutes ago we had a choice.
But we took a chance and lost our voice.
In only five minutes life changed my view.
What was old, now is new
Like five minutes before clock out time.
As a chill creeps down my spine.
When a mere five minutes ago you were thinking how far you’d go.
You should what can happen in five minutes flow.
Five minutes more to contemplate might have changed my fate.
Consider what your gain would be.
Five minutes from eternity.
How long five minutes really last before the future becomes the past.
