Where were you before today?

How did I survive the wars of time without you adjacent to my withered body? It's been years since we laid eyes on each other, but it feels like just yesterday we first met at that café. You rested yourself next to my Amish bread and a collection of poems I had crafted.

Funny how you snuck your way under my pen.

You make me feel like forever will never last long enough. How do you do that; make time dissipate into nothing, but still allow a spark to birth between us? You showed me that love has the ability to burn; as if your touch on my lips is igniting a match. I feel the fiery passion scorching the air we breathe.

Do you feel it too?

You have proved that love will never leave a person. Even after you are gone, I can still feel you lingering within me. You wrap your warm flesh around the butterflies inhabiting my stomach and I can smell your kisses on my breath. On those days your mind is too full to hold your thoughts, you unleash every word you have swallowed and spill them onto my lap. I can hold the weight of your world and you can carry mine. During those long nights, I am drowning in my anxiety, you are there to reveal the beauty of the stars and the moon, but none of them could ever possess the equivalency of sweetness as you.

Though you are kind, at times, you can fall under the power of bitterness, but even then, I will still savor every drop of you. Don't be afraid to pour yourself into me. Besides, it wouldn't be the first time I have fallen in love with someone as bitter as you.

You are my soulmate, best friend, and the love of my life. I knew we would always end up together. It was written in the clouds and our hearts. You have always been there to warm me up on the coldest nights and by my side when no one else dared to. I'm so blessed to wake up in the morning with you.

I love you, Coffee.
