The Next Coffees
"There was a feeling left unfinished
after last summer, and now it only
feels fulfilled in continuity,"
I told to you over your second cup
of coffee and mine of chocolates.
It's those little subliminal actions
so hard to read
that set off the sparks to be dismissed
(only right the first time).
It's just that feeling you give me,
not being afraid to laugh
or to leave these words undefined
(as long as you're by my side).
We tell more truths in our jokes and lies
than we ever wanted to show in our eyes.
