15 minutes ago

a Poem about love and longing

         
         
15 Minutes Ago



15 minutes ago, I wrote these lines
15 minutes ago, I feared the worst
15 minutes ago, you walked through the door
15 minutes ago, I whispered, "I love you."



15 minutes ago, I stood so strong
But now those minutes feel too long
And as the moments fade away
It hits me hard--I want you to stay



15 minutes-- we can't escape what fate has shown
15 minutes-- we're better when we're not alone
For 15 minutes-- no need to run, no need to take cover
For 15 minutes-- no fear remains--I know we'll last forever
