…15 minutes

Sep 7

Written By kim brown

…can we take 15 minutes-

15 minutes to know you-

15 minutes to know me-

minimal eye contact please,

but we can smile endlessly-

can we share of your first love,

and if your first became your second, third, or even fourth-

or if life threw strong winds your way, and led you to a fifth- no judgement here-

so can we take 15 minutes-

15 minutes to speak of your regrets, or the craved road you traveled to have none-

of your first kiss, or the one that made your heart race-

15 minutes of the memories that still make you smile- or the unfair bruises that were left-

15 minutes of friendship- because any more than that overwhelms me-

because any more than that terrifies me-

but it gets so very lonely, finding one who understands a request for 15 minutes of friendship-

so can we take 15 minutes-

15 minutes to know you-

15 minutes to know me-

and then we’ll say our goodbye-

and I will carry the greatest of contentment-

…as long as you don’t ask me for my number 😳
