To My Dark Roast

So today’s your day, my love…

I can’t even remember what my life was like before you; I can’t imagine waking up in the morning and not catching your scent.

You’re the only one who can leave me speechless, even though, when I feel you, my mind races with everything at once, building entire universes. I could raise cities in your name, start and end wars, cross a lonely desert with nothing but the promise of your company as my reward.

With you, it doesn’t matter how sleepless the night was — your presence at the table makes it all feel lighter. With you, it doesn’t matter how chaotic the day’s been, because when I feel you slip into me, bold and dark, nothing else matters. In the entire universe, it’s just us.

I love you madly, coffee.
