I'm drinking coffee with a stranger
A stranger who filled memories in my head
Deep kisses and cuddling on the bed
2 AM but still listening to Jazz
Late night walks in the city
No sweaters even when it was chilly
He sat in front of me,
His eyes blue as the sea
"Bubble tea or Latte?"
"I want no coffee, please don't leave me"
My cheeks feel the rolling teardrops
And if you ask me to stand near a canal,
I can turn it into a river
And if you ask me to stand near a river,
I can turn it into a sea
And if you ask me to stand near a sea,
I can turn it into an ocean
But yet,
He left leaving the empty espresso cup
Empty like my soul
I had coffee with a stranger
A stranger who filled memories in my head.
