5 Minutes





What would happen if you just discovered that we had only five minutes left before it was just all over. That there was only five more minutes to say all that we wanted to say and do all that we wanted to do. What would you do? What would you say? What would be your final moments if you only had five minutes left to live?

Can you even begin to think about it? 
                                                                                                                                                                             Would you be running to your family to tell them you love them and spend your last few moments with them? Or would you rather be with your friends? Would you finally tell that person you have hidden your feelings for so long that you love them? Or would you feel like it is finally to late to say a thing?

Five minutes. That’s all you had left. Tell me, would you just wait silently until it was all over? Or would your mind be spinning of the life you had, with flashback after flashback reoccurring inside your head?

Four minutes. That’s all you had left. Who would you be trying to call as phone lines are busy with countless of people trying to make one last phone call as well? Or would you be making that last ditch effort to be with someone in your last moments…to kiss them or hug them for the last time.

Three minutes. That’s all you had left. Tell me, do you believe what is happening? Or are you too shocked to believe that everything you has ever know is about to vanish forever to believe such a fact.

Two minutes. That’s all you had left. Are your praying? Or are you talking to the people that surround you? Are you trying to ask forgiveness for all the things you have done wrong in your life or too preoccupied with regret of the things that are now too late to be done.

One minute. Tell me, with one minute left, what would you be thinking? Thirty seconds. Are you crying that it’s almost over or smiling of a life well spent? Ten seconds. You look around, breath, and feel alive for the last few seconds. Three. Two. One….and it’s all over. Tell me, what would you do if you only had five minutes left?
