two minutes go by quickly
when it's a song
a page in a book
a look at the sky
or a scene in a movie

two minutes go by slowly
when it's a car ride
a stop light
or the space between words

two minutes go by like lightning
when it's a roller coaster
or a breathless confession

two minutes are an eternity
when i'm waiting for your voice
to reassure me that you are still alive
