If we were having coffee- Morning

If we were having coffee, last night’s confessions spinning in our hearts, empty wine glasses on the floor, fire embers smoldering,

If we were having coffee, morning sleep in our eyes, sun streaming through blinds, bird song in the distance,

If we were having coffee, snug in our pajamas, dog curled in your lap, kitten threading my legs as I pour,

If we were having coffee, you here with me, in this very place, I would tell you, for you, I am grateful, and I would tell you I love you.
