Give me a good cup of coffee and a sad song

I hope you never regret me.

Maybe

Living in the moment of heartbreak. You feel each broken piece leave you with every breath you take. And just when you feel you have no more to give. No strength to push through, you smile for no good reason. Just simply one day you will smile. You realize you aren't dead. That pain and weakness were just a fleeting moment. You feel in the smile you are now stronger than that moment before. Your heart may be broken, pieces gone into the unknown but you're stronger. Maybe you didn't need that broken heart . Maybe you are too strong for that busted up sad last one. Now in your simple smile you've come upon a new heart without holes and finger prints from lovers past. You, your heart is all your own and you will know this time to be more careful as you don't get a new heart everyday.

Next time

Of my many years on earth this life time I have spent over half of them loving you in some way. All those many years I've only called you mine for less than 70 days. Felt you near me as we slept for less than that and kissed you a handful of times. I wish I would've known that last kiss meant forever good bye. I would have remembered it better. I wouldn't have walked away in anger from that last innocent moment. I would have broken the rules, curfew, speed limits and tried to call you mine maybe one hour longer. It's all as it's supposed to be this trip around the sun. Maybe next time you will pick me for the big stuff, not just the adolescent memories or broken hearts. Maybe I will be the one you see.
