Cafe of Goodbyes

Under the cafe lights, where the stories unfold,

Two lives entwined, but the future's untold.

In the corner booth, our laughter would blend,

A sweet serenade, as hearts start to mend.

You’d sip your cappuccino; I’d steal a glance,

With every lingering moment, we danced our chance.

Monday mornings, you’d wear that smile,

Books and whispers, we’d talk for a while.

Simple joys, sweet as a dream,

In our little corner, life felt supreme.

But we’re just coffee stains on a paper napkin,

Two fleeting moments in a world that’s spin,

Though we courted each other every day,

Like the finest brew, it won’t stay this way.

Under autumn’s glow as the leaves start to fall,

You’d lean in close, the world felt so small.

Sweet pastries and secrets, we’d share with delight,

Chasing each sunset, igniting the night.

You had your dreams, and I had mine too,

A canvas of hopes painted in hues.

But passion fades softly like the smoke from a cup,

Reality calls, and we both wake up.

But we’re just coffee stains on a paper napkin,

Two fleeting moments in a world that’s spin,

Though we courted each other every day,

Like the finest brew, it won’t stay this way.

Promises linger like a long-lost tune,

Yet the clock keeps ticking, the end comes too soon.

With every goodbye wrapped in a sigh,

The comfort of us was a sweet little lie.

One last cup before we say farewell,

As the echo of laughter begins to quell.

In this cafe where our hearts once danced free,

We'll part like the steam, fading silently.
