"One Mocha Latte"
I was right behind them in the line.
My breath could touch your back like my hands never could.
It was always the same time, same coffee, same stranger.
I never got to look at your face because I was afraid, but I knew that you were going to be the most handsome man I'd ever come across.
I laughed at the thought of it, but I didn't dismiss the idea of wanting to know you.
"One Mocha Latte"
This time, you are not in front of me.
This time, I could feel your breath brush against my heart.
It's a sensation that I could never explain.
Trust me, I wasn't trying to make you interested by ordering the same coffee.
Mocha is my favorite.
This day, I couldn't get a glimpse of your back.
This day I left the coffee shop in wonder. Tomorrow, I'll be back.
Every time I enter the coffee shop, I am covered with memories and nostalgia.
This day, I started to spend my afternoon here.I ordered the same coffee, but my view was completely different. Today, I forgot what your back looks like. But maybe that's because you stopped coming. I shrugged, knowing that a stranger can leave anytime they want and not come back. After all, we are just strangers.
