COFFEE

We’re sitting in a coffee bar
and I am looking at you
and I’m thinking to myself
how good you look today
how well this colour suits you
how charming your voice is
and how gorgeous you are!
How all eyes are on you
how well you gesticulate
how would it feel to touch you
your hands……your lips?
How gorgeous you are!
 
 
And I finish my cappuccino
just as you finish telling me
how pretty your new girlfriend is
how you like to watch football
how much job stress you have.
And then you leave in a hurry
thanking me for the iced tea
and, of course, for listening.
I smile wistfully as I pay the bill
and I’m thinking to myself
how you inevitably leave me
so smitten….and speechless
