If we were having coffee
Every paragraph needs to start with these words. Or every stanza of your poem. I would prefer prose for this one. I'm entering this one as an example.
longing
if we were having coffee
rain would be coating the windowpanes
come back to earth by mac miller
playing in the background
the bed unmade in the room behind us
our warmth lingering there
if we were having coffee
it’d be at 10 in the morning
us shivering in our kitchen
standing shoulder to shoulder as we watch
the keurig brew
i’d lean my head on your shoulder and
you’d lean on me
our silence holding
more meaning than any words would carry
you’d follow me to the table by the window
bringing your bowl of cereal
the rain continuing to pour
if only.
