Well if you have had the piercing that long it won't close, however it will shrink over time. The mark left by the initial piercing will remain in place and will look less noticable over time.
It doesn't matter the location and age of the piercing...some of them will close in a matter of minutes and some will never fully close.
Well, its really hard to say because everyone's body will react differently, and it depends on how your body heals. A tongue piercing is considered an open wound right up until you let it close. After five years mine is still considered that. I have had mine for about five years now and I'm so used to it that when i take it out, i forget. I have gone a little over two weeks with it out and it didn't close or get smaller. I had a tongue ring for close to four years and it took a couple days at most. I don't think it actually matters how long it's been once it has been more than a year or two.

If it's infected... DON'T TAKE IT OUT! If you take it out, it will only cause the infectious bacteria to stay in your body, and it won't get rid of it. Soak your piercing in a sea salt soak for five to ten minutes and clean it two to three times a day. Once the swelling/infection has passed, and you're not please with the piercing, you can take it out. But if it's infected, leave it in!

it is a good idea not to get one
Time to move on. Just be a gentleman about it.
Almost five years old. Or close enough to not matter.
For your information (its 2011) Justin is 17 and Selena is 18 there not even close to five years apart!
I will offer five words to get you started: naval, navigation, navel, navicular, and navigable.plus navy.
Five ?
The word we'll is a contraction for the prounoun 'we' and the verb (or auxiliary verb) 'will'. If the speaker and another person are both going to be five years old, then it is correct to say: We'll be five years old. (We will both be five years old.) If the speaker is referring to them self only or any other persons or things, it is correct to say: I will be five years old. You will be five years old. He will be five years old. She will be five years old. It will be five years old. They will be five years old.
