Five Minutes: A Blogging Valentine
Five minutes after you came
you knew me alreadyIn less than five minutes
a few typed words. a “Welcome!” answer
a clever one liner, a witty line back
a laugh unrelated to where it all began.Five minutes of time . . who’s counting?
verbal volleyball — an even score
connecting minds in bits and bytes
all equal players, playing niceFive minutes of time
a lifetime in 300 seconds
friendships built on captured keystrokes
bonds with more power than words we writeno memory of the day they started
clear recall of the thoughts, questions, witty retorts
knowing each five minutes every relationship was forgedFive minutes you’re gone . . . not for long,
only five minutes . . . all of five minutes
That’s all it took — record time — five — count ’em — five minutes
happens that way, with folks who hang around
Five minutes you came
. . . that’s how it started.not strangers anymore.
we’ve been friends for five minutes
that’s a very long time around here.
our five minutes is now five minutes
after five minutes plus five minutes . . . . and on and on and onFive minutes you’re gone
. . . and I miss you already.Can’t wait until five minutes from now when you’re back again.
Five minutes of conversation can start a relationship that lasts a whole life.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
