Coffee, You and I


The phone rings
I wait with bated breath
And then as you answer it
Nostalgia hits meet me – BOOM
Bang ON, Bang ON
The sweet memories coming rushing home

Like the sparkles in a firecracker
The Laughter soon begins
There is nothing we can do, but hysterically give in
Bound by threads of familiarity and extreme content
Our words tumble over each other, while our hearts meet perfect alignment

Coffee, you and I, my friend
Coffee, you and I…….
We are separated by time zones and gazillion miles
But some things simply don’t matter
For we have Coffee, you and I

Time has been running by
Like the children between our feet
Laughter, gurgles, loud noises, smiles
Surround us like a special, special treat
Our tired bodies and cheerful hearts
Reach out for that warm, fortifying cup
We pause to savor both the moment and the flavor
Coffee, you and I.

Coffee, you and I, my friend
Coffee, you and I
We are denied the pleasure of a meeting
But some things simply don’t matter
For we have Coffee, you and I

Like gleaming fireflies in a glass jar
Our memories grow brighter with time
And I clutch them tighter
As I muse over
Coffee, you and I.
