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.
