This poem is about someone who regrets not spending enough time with their loved one before they died. They wish they had five more minutes to express their feelings and say goodbye. They are left with sadness and loneliness, and only memories of their past.
If only I had five more minutes
To say the things I left unsaid
To feel your warmth and touch your skin
To whisper how I love you so
If only I had five more minutes
To make up for the time I lost
To smile with you and hold you close
To share with you the light of day
If only I had five more minutes
To look into your eyes and hear your voice
To thank you for the gift you were
To bid farewell before you go
If only I had five more minutes
But time is harsh and fate is blind
You slipped away before I could
And left me with a shattered soul
If only I had five more minutes
But minutes are just fantasies
You're gone for good and I'm alone
And all I have are memories.
