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.

It gives you a happy feeling, its like a big secret. But then again lot off ppl dont like saying what they feel...dont want to be turned down and all that.

Beautiful! Reminds me(slightly tangentially) of the Baaton Baaton Mein Song: "Na Bole tum na maine kuchh kaha...kaha, magar na jaane aisa kyon laga...laga, ki dhoop mein khila hai chaand din mein raat ho gayi, ki pyaar mein bina kahe-sune hi baat ho gayi!"
