Two Cups of Coffee

Two lovers surely sat here long ago
One evening early, as the winter rain
Slid down the windows like children at play
The raindrops teasing and chasing each other;

Across the table shyly flirting eyes
A little bit unsure, a little bit lost -
But happily so – they also teased and played
As softly as the winter’s window-mist

Two lovers surely sat here long ago
“Yes, sugar, please,” she said. “How did you know?”
