One Minute

Walking in the department store
Shopping and walking
I though about you
And I wanted just one minute

One minute to look in your eyes
One minute to hear you breathe
One minute to feel you move
One minute to say
I love you.

I would have even accepted less
One look
One breathe
One kick
I love you

My thoughts boiled down into
The simplest of sets
How long is a minute
The next sixty seconds
An eternity, forever
And beyond the heavens
When you died

I wonder now when you
had your last minute, what
did you wish for?
A breath?
A look ?
A hug?
And I love you
