5 more minutes

Its been a love language of mine for as long as I can remember. Music hits deep within my soul and I start to feel emotional. Doesn't matter the genre, the lyrics, whatever, it just hits me. I tend to break out in chills so you can physically see its impact.

My dad played a ton of music for us growing up. I think that's why I'm like this. He's like this.

I have known this song for awhile now but nothing hits quite like truly listening ti the words and feeling it. Usually, this song is background noise... That day in my car when I actually listened to it for the first time, I bawled like a baby.

"All the family gathered 'round, knew the time was comin' soon

With so much left to say I prayed, Lord, I ain't finished

Just give us five more minutes

Time rolls by, the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops

Of the good stuff, the good times

Oh, but they just keep on flyin'

Right on by, like it ain't nothin'

I wish I had me a, a pause button

Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it

Yeah, sometimes this old life will leave you wishin'

That you had five more minutes"

How I wish I could have just 5 more minutes to talk with him and him be mentally present. he comes and goes but his "coming to" is less frequent now. Its hard to process. Truthfully it fucking sucks.

I wish I had me a pause button, lord knows I'd hit it, I wish I just had 5 more minutes.
