i found something that needs to be modified

unsigned long currentTime;
unsigned long loopTime;

void setup()
{
  currentTime = millis();
  loopTime = currentTime; 
  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);  //Initialize pin 12 as status LED 
  pinMode(8, INPUT);    // Our button pin 
}

void loop()
{
  if (digitalRead(8) == LOW)   // Switch is closed to start LED timer
          {
          digitalWrite(12, HIGH);  // LED comes On  
          currentTime = millis();  
          }
  else   //Hits each pass that switch is not pressed
           {
          if (currentTime >= (loopTime + 5000)); { 
          digitalWrite(12, LOW);  //  LED goes off
          loopTime = currentTime;  // Updates loopTime
           }
}
}
