I�ll have a demitasse
Thank you.
You�re always late�
In a world where you can depend on nothing
I can depend on you, this, and us.

I love the awkwardness we both feel
Because it has been a while.
How gently you slip behind me
And slide into your seat
As if you�ve been there all the while

I love the nothingness we speak of
Holding conversations about men
And the stupid things they do
Laughing at our experiences and
Wondering why we shed tears in the beginning

I love the familiarity of it all
I can rely on your Mona Lisa smiles
Telling the same stories as if they were new
Remember that??
I know just what you mean.

I love that we can be conversing about anything
From this week�s thrift- store anythings
To the meaning of it all
Stirring away the nervousness
Letting the hours drift away..

I love that after a cup of black coffee,
You bare yourself to me
And there is such beauty in your breakdown
Creating a colourful mosaic of emotions for me
You will never be obvious.

Burnt umber thoughts linger in the air
With the scents of your espresso
In our favourite place
I�m happy when I hear
�Darling, Let�s get a cup of coffee.�
