got some coffee
a pile of books
sat down in this leather chair
there was this old couple sitting on the couch to the right of me
reading books
sitting close together
drinking coffee from the same cup
and stopping to show each other passages here and there
i have never in my life had anyone sitting in a bookstore with me
tonight
watching this old couple
they looked like each other sorta
were sharing that coffee
and text
back and forth
i wanted to cry for some reason
it was
to me
perfection
and I sat there and thought
theres really only one person I've ever met
or even known that I could picture myself there like that with
....being like that with...
so I just wanted to tell you
that I thought about you tonight
and
i really wondered
if you'd drink from the same cup with me like that
the funny thing is.... they drank from the same cup...shared a scone
and when the coffee was gone the man got up and went for some more
they shared that cup too
something about that one cup......
them sitting close...
leaning in towards each other to see what the other was reading
something about it
it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
and for the record....
they weren't magazine cover looking people
they wouldn't be chosen for a American express ad
ever
but they made me miss you
a little more
than I already did
i wish i could share with you
