5 Seconds

1
the seconds slip
slowly beneath the water
sinking softly to the ground
2
and our ships sailed away
we lost the maps
the compass and the sails
3
the sun set
and the day hid
as my mind wandered
4
those seconds we had
were precious to me
and i hope you hold them dear
5
I still close my eyes
and count silently to five
to remember when our ships
bumped ways
the seconds we lost
and the lives we gained.
