The Coffee Shop Poem by Ray Hansell

I read the poem you sent me today
Once again your words had so much to say

I didn't have to read between the lines
Because you never try to be sublime

You got the point and said what you meant
You clicked on the send button, and off it went

Remember the coffee shop where we use to go
You'd always leave saying, I love you so

As I read your poem I thought of the time
When love use to be yours and mine

But today finds us miles apart
Separated by miles but you're still in my heart

I think of that coffee shop each day
Where you and I had so much to say

Now once in a while as I stroll inside
The memories there just cannot hide

Though I know it's only been a while
So very much I miss your sweet smile

I walk through the door and what do I see
You sitting there smiling right back at me

My heart did back flips just like before
When I'd see your face as I walked in the door

I gaze at your beauty just like the first time
It's moments like this that live on in my mind

I think to myself how lucky can one guy be
That this beautiful lady is really with me

Every eye in the place glances her way
She's blessed with such beauty what can I say

We talk for a while and then we leave
Going some place to get what we need

It isn't alcohol nor is it drugs
We're going somewhere to share love and hugs

Once again our needs have been fulfilled
Once again we have both been thrilled

At the coffee shop we'll meet soon again
Knowing I'll miss her until then
