If we were having coffee
Every paragraph needs to start with these words. Or every stanza of your poem. I would prefer prose for this one. I'm entering this one as an example.
bitter-sweet
if we were having coffee
id take mine bitter-sweet and cold
we would pretend to have more time
though that lie is getting old
if we were having coffee
i think i might avoid your gaze
it would make it less painful
to miss your eyes on my bad days
if we were having coffee
id withhold my feelings from you
we just aren't meant to be right now
i promise its the right thing to do
if we were having coffee
id brush my fingers across your face
in hopes that the future is in our favor
when its the right time and right place
