"Thanks for the coffee."
She took hold of the cup,
Their fingers brushing
As she looked up.
"Its not just the coffee,"
He said with a grin
"It's my way of saying
'Hey I'm all in'
She sipped on the drink
Eyes on his face,
As he got himself lost
In some far off place.
"It's more than just coffee
It's all about love,
About overcoming
And rising above.
It's for drinking in clubs
Dancing and dipping,
And the fact that I know
Your resolve started slipping.
It's for rescuing partners
And waking you up,
It's a private message
Wrapped in a cup.
Its for all that you are,
And all that you do.
To help with the things
We're still going through.
It's about romance
Covertly kissing,
And showing you all of
The things that you're missing.
It's a light in the darkness
When you need to smile,
Its to warm up your hands
And your heart for a while.
Its something to cling to
A repetitive act,
That states to you daily
One simple fact,
I am here when you need me
Have been for days,
It's a cup full of promise
I'm here, ALWAYS."
She ran her finger
Lightly round the rim,
And lifted her face
To gaze straight at him.
She rolled her eyes
And he felt unhappy,
"Its ok Castle,
But stop being sappy.
Its just that you say it
Like I don't understand,
That I don't get the message
in the touch of your hand.
The cup is the vessel
But you fill the void,
You break through the darkness
When I'm scared and annoyed.
The coffee is warming
But so are you.
It all holds a meaning
That much is true.
When I'm hurt and angry
You reach out your hand,
And guide me in ways
I'd never have planned.
But the message, I get it
No words left to say,
It's a silence filled symbol
You give everyday."
She drew in closer
And meeting his eyes,
Wanted to kiss him
And filled with surprise.
She laughed and she smiled
And gave him a shove,
"I get it Castle,
Coffee is Love!
