5 Minutes and Forever

I'm used to it. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for a late friend to arrive. Waiting and standing on the line. Waiting for this and that.

I even often tell my friends that I am studying a degree- Bachelor of Arts in Patience: Major in Waiting.

But your case was different. At that moment, waiting for your response felt like forever. And every second that pass seemed like killing me, so disappointing. On my mind, I even gave you a one minute deadline to reply. But when you didn't, I still waited. Until I lose track of time. I fell asleep. When i woke up and checked my phone,  finally- there was your reply, after 5 minutes.

I smiled and was confused. How come you had this magic over me. Waiting for you... You made my five minutes feel like eternity.
