Ten Minutes Ago
Ten minutes ago, you were the one I wanted
Ten minutes ago, I was the one you loved
Ten minutes ago, I had my happy ending
But now it's ten minutes to go
Until I'm over you.
I came unglued,
You put me back together.
Forget that you,
You had to take it back, then.
And I still can hear all
The words that you said,
All the things we undressed.
Was it too much to have?
Happy ending,
But that's not the case.
Now I'm filled with a memory,
And your ghost I must chase.
'Cause ten minutes ago, you were the one
I wanted
Ten minutes ago, I was the one you loved
Ten minutes ago, I had my happy ending
But now it's ten minutes to go
Until I'm over you.
Now shattered dust -- my heart is like it,
And I do fine -- when I feel like it.
All the things you promised me,
All the songs you sang to me
Belong to someone else.
Did you lose your originality?
Still, I watch the streets and the TV shows
Just to catch a glimpse
Of what we used to be,
And forget what it meant when you said
Forever.
Ten minutes ago, I loved you
And ten minutes ago, I cried.
Ten minutes feels like too long without you,
But ten minutes ago, we died.
Ten minutes ago, you were the one I wanted
Ten minutes ago, I was the one you loved
Ten minutes ago, I had my happy ending
And it's still ten minutes to go
Until I'm over you.
This poem was actually intended to be song lyrics, and still is, which explains the repetition.
