Five more minutes.
“Let’s go, you’ll miss your flight.”
And she was right. Two years of hard work and countless awake nights finally rewarded, a lifetime opportunity. Job was perfect, well payed and highly considered. There was only one issue: he had to leave the country.
“Just five more minutes ok?” He barely replied. His mind was racing but he knew it was the right choice. He had to do it. Still, somewhere deep down his heart, he felt sad. Sad at a potential life of happiness, far away from stress and frozen into that sunrise with her.
Suddenly, the time was up, and he left to never see her again.
You see, sometimes, you just can’t hit snooze and stretch life for 5 more minutes.
