I have not met with you yet today.
I rush out and go to see you.
You are not there yet and my lips form your name.
It does not matter how many times I have said your name before,
Everytime I say it, it ignites a new yearning in me.
I am told I will have to wait for you.
You never keep me waiting long,
But even if you did it would be well worth it.
Finally you arrive.
I wrap my hands around you
And press my lips against you.
No one can see why I love you so much.
Though no one can argue with the fact that you are hot,
Everyone says you are bitter.
They suggest things that might make you better.
You are bad for me.
You will kill me one day.
The list goes on.
What they don't see is that you are not bitter.
And if you are (for I have not noticed)
It is only because you are rich.
Yes, that's right.
You are rich.
I start to calm as you work your magic on me.
Soon we will not have any time together.
I look sadly at you and then quickly end our visit.
Our day's love affair has ended,
And you have done your job.
Coffee.
