You know I never liked coffee

Well

Except for you

You were coffee

Strong and bitter

That was always you

I wanted your taste because it was more than anything I had ever encountered before

I wanted it so much, in fact

That I downed it all in one gulp

And that carried me for awhile but now all I have left of you is

An empty cup and some bitter remnants stuck on my tongue

And I keep trying to go back to your shop to get just one more drop

But all I ever encounter when I get there is a stop

In my heart

Because as I step up to the door

I see that I am not wanted anymore

My picture is plastered up

Making sure I keep out

And as I peer in and try to sneak a glimpse of you

I see you've got a new customer, a regular

Who was smart enough to realize that in order to savor you

She had to take you in espresso shots

Maybe for her it will last

When you and I just moved too fast
