Coffee Lovers by Aindréas Brennan
Silently,
He smiles to himself,
As he thinks of her,
Sitting alone in her kitchen,
Sipping coffee.
She thinks of him too,
But little does he know it.
Shamefully,
Both pass each other every day,
Without passing on the knowledge,
Of their inwardly turned love.
Time and time again it happens,
For who has the courage to say it first,
Or do they just enjoy,
Their secret love affair.

For who has the courage to say it first,

I wrote this poem one Summers night after having a conversation with a friend of mine about a girl I liked. At the time she was the most amazing woman I had ever met and I found that I could open up to her on anything. I wrote this at about 4. 30 in the morning, after that conversation with my friend.

Your poem is wonderful. I have been in love with my best friend for a long time. I never had the courage to tell him and i don't think i can ever tell him that. I have known him since I was born, we studied together in the same class and we belong to the same gang of friends. Your poem was a sweet consolation; to think that ours is a secret love, never expressed never enjoyed. Thanks - vernal |

Sometimes the best part of falling in love is the anticipation of what is going to happen. It's especially wonderful when you really care about someone as a friend first and then feel the desire to move forward. This poem captured that magic time. - Krista |
