A CUP OF COFFEE

It was raining heavily

I was waiting for you in a coffee shop

I start worrying about you

Even your phone says “switched off”

It increases my heart beat so fast that

Even another person can heard it from a far

I kept looking for you

My eyes scanned every stopping vehicle

But there was no sight of you

The more it rains the more I become nervous

But finally I had a view of you

In blue top with a shy smile

You were late by 15 mins

I wanted to ask so many questions to you

But as soon as you kissed my cheek

I forget everything

And just kept looking you

Your wet strands of hair

Your soft wet skin

Beautiful and clear eyes

I then ordered two cup of coffee

You take out a mirror from your purse

And make yourself pretty

I just

keep watching your lips

Wanted a kiss but kept myself restrained

Then the coffee arrived

You hold the cup in such way as you hold me tightly

I do the same

Our eye made contact

We kept looking into each other’s eyes for more than a minute

You won the race of eye contact

And we did gestures throughout

I love your eye moment

What can be more beautiful than your company

In chilly weather outside and warm coffee with you

I wish that time would remain still throughout

When I am with you

I wish I keep looking you throughout my life

Just with a cup of coffee in hand…
