Coffee
I met you in the middle of the day
I remember the time
As clear as day
The sun shinning a bit hard
The air stiff
My hair packed up in a rush
My glasses perched on my nose
You walked up to me
“Coffee or tea?”
Tea I answered
Not bothering to look up
But somehow I did
My neck raising slowly
And you stood there
Your mouth holding a polite smile
And we both gasped
A silent shared sigh
You were beautiful
The sunlight no match for your aura
It radiated
Forcing its way into my heart
I saw our future then
The shared quiet jokes
Your back leaning into me as I steal a kiss
Watching you talk about your interests
The nights our passion was the only sound we could hear in our home
Your hair buried into the pillow
Your eyes staring straight into mine
Your gasps as you pulled me closer
I could see it all
But all I said that day was
“Coffee please”
You would tease me years later
Telling me you thought of telling me
“Let’s run away. Now.”
