Quotes about coffee: “I stood in your doorway this morning …”

“I stood in your doorway this morning

dreaming you’d turn around

you’d tilt your head

you’d softly whisper ”stay”

or that you’d grab my arms

to shake me while asking

what the hell are we doing

we love

each other

and this is not right

so we will make this work

now stay!

You poured your coffee. Stirred the spoon like a crystal man

with your back to me and not a sound. the fridge humming elegies while the clock ticked on

and the streets are so clean here people rushing to work

and maybe I should be too

by now

at this age

this stage

this town.

I will stand in that doorway

dreaming

for many nights to come.”
