As I Raised It To My Lips

If you can't tell someone where you've been, 

at least tell them where you're going. 

Sometimes, that's not enough for them, 

but more often than not they'll be 

happy to have an idea of what 

you are doing when they think 

of you randomly while at breakfast 

with your placebo, or replacement. 

They'll raise their coffee to their lips 

and right before they take a drink, 

they'll picture you doing whatever is was 

that you told them you'd be doing,

 even if what you are doing is 

trying to 

forget them. 

The waitress 

whose name 

I still have 

yet to ask 

approached 

our table

 and rattled

 me out of

 my thoughts;

I heard the

 boy across

 the table

 rambling

still. He 

  isn't you. 

"More Coffee 

to top it off?"

 she asked. 

"Yes please 

just to warm

 it up,"  

I muttered.

"Sure thing."

"Thanks,"
I said as

  I raised it 

   to my lips.
