Five Minutes More

[TheEarl]

If I had just five minutes more,
I would wrap my arms around her,
I would hold her close to me,
Just for the comfort she brings.

If I had just five minutes more,
I would pull her tight and kiss her again,
I would luxuriate in the exquisite heat of her lips on mine
And I would never let her go.

If I had just five minutes more,
I would sit down and watch her read.
I'd lie down beside her just to smell her perfume
And stroke her hair, just ot see her smile.

If I had just five minutes more,
I wouldn't waste a single second.
Because I can't have just five minutes more.
No matter how much I need them.

I would give my soul for just five minutes more.

Ouch.
From the heart guy.
Too many people have thought what you have put into words.

Hanging in there, Earl?

Hey Earl, that was a great.

I don't want to ruin it by posting something completely unoriginal and stupid but when I read 'Five minutes' I had to think of this song-text: (I hope you don't mind me posting it)

Hello, my friend, I'm surprised to see you.
It's been such a long time. Do you remember when?

What's that you say... you haven't had your 'days'? Since when?
Oh, since then.

Are you quite sure it's me?
Maybe we're both living the same dream.
Or, call it a daymare if you want to.

No, it's reality, she said
and lucky for you I brought with me a test.
And I hear it's the best. And it gives you...

(Chorus)
5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
(and she gave me)
5 minutes to be the star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)

And what if it says yes...
will you, will you do the right thing?
I said, yeah.., yeah.., yeah!
You know my mama raised me right!

But there's just one thing you've got to know.
This is not my desire
and I'll always want to go
but I'll never leave you.
I'll always stay
because it's the right thing to do.

5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
(and she gave me)
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)

I can't turn back the time
no matter how hard I try.
Now that's the reason why I can't cry!

So she wished me luck,
as she went into the john
to put some pee in a cup,
and I knew this couldn't be love.

So then I sat down in front of the microwave
because from there I could see both the time and my face,
while I stared at the clock.

And things start to look like a TV screen
as I see myself as the actor in a scene from a movie
about a man whose got to stop messing around and get his act together
because now he knows he only has,

5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
(and she gave me)
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)

I got
5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on you)

Nice, Earl. It would make great song lyrics.

Great poem, Earl...


Hi, Snoop... (LOL)

But (silver lining alert) at least you had some time with her. I'm still waiting/hoping for the FIRST five minutes.

 

[Elsie Grey]

Oh sweetie. It will get easier, I promise! Don't forget your promise!

Nice, Earl. It would make great song lyrics.

Anyone who wants to write a tune to it is most welcome as long as they play it to me when they're done. I'm curious to know what kind of song you thought that'd be good lyrics for.

[Penelope Street]

On occasion, I've wished for five minutes more. Can't recall that the guy ever delivered.

Serously though; the poem is a sweet, yet somber, sentiment. You capture the moment, taking us back to a time we'd all perhaps like to forget. Fortunate that, since we're all almost certain to experience it again.

Probably something similar to the after-love song "Hallelujah".
