Sips of Coffee

Coffee shop [01]

When I was sitting in that Sunday morning in the café

I saw you

I took a sip of coffee and continued reading the newspaper

You glanced at me and I kept staring like it was a contest

But you just looked down.

It was ok by me.

You were like the air, you know?

Unnoticeable but yet needed,

Not a very talkative girl

But I liked you that way.

I saw you standing up and walk away

The door made the most uncomfortable sound when you left

And loneliness filled the room

And all that was left of you was the heat of your seat

Now I took a sip of cold coffee that was there for some time

Hoping that you would come back that day

But you didn't

Well, I guess it was just dumb thinking you would come to drink coffee

At that coffee shop in the same day

But I couldn't leave with your essence still flowing in the air
