I don’t mean for it to be cold

Somehow I’m always too slow to drink it

From once filling my insides with warmth

To being bitter and disappointing

A lot can be said for cold coffee

How similar it is to love

How just as cold coffee, love is somewhat disappointing

How the warmth from love, leaves just as quickly as the warmth from my mug

How if you forget that love it there

It will turn bitter and cold

But I’ll drink it anyway because it’s what I’ve been taught to do

I wrote this piece to symbolize the fleeting nature of life and love, the power we hold daily with the choices we make. And also because my coffee had just gone cold in my hand.
