My vintage love

Her

Today ...like any other day , i woke up got dressed and went to work .
I have a small cozy coffeeshop of my own , after stumbling through a lot of hardcore part time jobs i finally managed to start my own business, i feel so comfortable doing what i do , with coffee and books mixed together with music i think i get to heal a-lot of wounded souls , that brings a little ease to my life . Though these days i've been surrounded by emptiness that my daily schedule didn't fill most of it .

"i've got to get me a-life " i sigh deeply to myself while holding to my cup of tea . Its been a while since i've done anything that's exiting , a lot more time since i met any of my friends , I wasn't blessed with a bunch of them actually i only had two semi close friends that i meet whenever life allow us . Family wise wasn't much of a big deal either , my mom died when i was young that I barley remember her , and my dad decided that i was big enough to care for myself at the age of 16 and walked out of my life , i hear from him every once in a while , but i think he do that just make sure i'm still alive . But I wouldn't call my life a tragedy , after all i've got myself , my shop , my books ,those things are enough for me most of the days .

"Violet "

A voice interpreted my thoughts , i shifted and looked to the source , here she's my favorite customer , she's hear almost everyday Madam Camilla , oh i love how when we first met she told that we're two lonely flowers that are waiting for a touch of sunlight .

"Lost in thoughts again aren't we "

she said while taking off her pink coat , she kinda reminds me of queen Elizabeth , same colorful attire , same sopthicated  attitude that got me thinking at first that she must be a royalty , until i found she's just being herself , I wouldn't say that she's old though , she sure looks nothing like her age that got me choked on my drink when she told me that she's 70 .

"A little bit of morning thinking that's all , so how'd you like your coffee today "
i said while getting up , the thing about Madam Camilla , she order everyday a different kind of coffee , she claims that life is too short to spend it having just one flavor , i kinda admire her philosophy .

" forget coffee get me one passionate hot chocolate , let me start my day with that sweet aroma "

she said while swaying here body to the rhythm of her own words that got me smiling .

"coming right up "

"So tell me child , what was going through your head at the early morning , is it a secret lover "

she said with all the excitement she can master .

"I'm sorry to disappoint you Madam Camilla , but i'm so far from being i love , in-fact i'm starting to believe i wasn't destined to have some of it in my life "

i said while placing the hot chocolate in front of her , she gave a look of disbelieve and said ,

" well if you spend your life hiding from people then i'm sure you won't get any "

She got closer to me putting her elbows on the table looking me straight to my eyes .

" You my child need to go out more , go get you a life , An exiting one for a change , go to clubs , meet new friend , get drunk , go wild . What's the point of your life if you're going to spend it in dullness "

She paused and seemed like she got lost in her thoughts , then she finally spoke .

" listen to me child , we only get one ticket to this life , you better not miss your train . Catch it , before its too late "

Her words each and every one of them echoed in my brain , she couldn't be more right . That feeling inside of me , this emptiness , there must be something that can fill it .

" Alright how much do i owe you my dear " she said while getting her coat on .

" its on the house today Madam " i replied .

She got closer to me butting both of her hands on my arm .

" we get to create our own happiness , don't search for it , its already there " she pointed at my heart  , " its your choice to let it out " she finished with a big smile and left me behind thinking of every word she said , can I really be happy ?!
