I remember that day so well:
Would you like a Cappuccino, my love?
I said to her after she awoke.
I never thought I could feel this way
Sitting across from you
At a coffee table,
Except when we take a walk to Old Town
Hand in hand
And laughing, teasing and flirting
With each other.
All my life
I felt like a flame searching for love.
Then I found you.
You were always so perfect to me
As your face was as stunning as an angels glow
And your beautiful eyes were like a rising sunset
But the real you is the you that I never did see
And when all the lust and love was lost
I realized that our future was all a big dream
Now here I am
Sitting in the Sad Café
With tears streaming
Down my cheeks
As I stare at the emptiness
In this coffee cup
Drowning in my crimson regrets.
I hide my pain behind the smile on my face
Because I know no one can see
The pain of my loneliness
Bleeding from the feelings of my heart.
Seeing life through a tainted heart
Dazed! Confused! I sit here wondering?
How do I trust, how do I love again?
How can I find what I never had?
Fate maybe has another plan
Or maybe has another love
Because broken hearts are much harder to fix
Than scraped knees
As the scar is deeper.
I roam the lonely road
And listen to night whispers searching for my life
As darkness becomes my comfort zone.
Time will heal my broken pride
Then I will be able to leave my sadness, pain and crying behind,
Because love is never anything i should fall into.

Hi:
I felt an impulse to read this piece, the coffee attracted me -I guess- this is so sad.....
I followed this piece all the way to it's end, I smiled, and sighed, and got sad..... Life can be so cruel and lonely sometimes, it shows here.....
Great job, an enjoyable read, thank you for sharing with me on this site...... Good luck in this contest.
Blessed be with love, light and all things good always,
AngelicMistress...Tanya

Too bad you fell in love with me! Because I sure as heck fell in love with you!
This is such a sad write. So happy, yet it later turns in to something where I sat thinking, "no! don't feel that way!" I wanted to jump through the screen and hug you until your face turned blue and you had to push me off just so you could breath. *holds hand tightly* Let's go have a Cappuccino.
Love,
Mylee
