How long do you think it will take me to get it down to 6min mile?

I ran a mile yesterday. Time: 6:35 Not quite where I'd like it to be. I'm not in shape though (haven't run in over year and a half). How long do you think it will take me to get it down to 6? And can I be running a 5 minute mile in the near future?
