Coffee.
Sip me gently, for some days I am hot. Let me rest in your hands warming your fingers as you inhale the steam. Blow sweet whispers across the cup, to bring me to the right temperature, warm as it soothes your soul but cool enough to take a big sip.
Set me down, and enjoy the taste, the way I linger on your tastebuds. Enjoy the ambiance, the way the sounds hesitate, the way daylight sneaks upon your shoulders. As the glowing morning warms you, so will I, creeping through your blanket that you hold against you.
Treasure me, keep me close and drink me every morning. I will wake you and stir your insides. I will make you want to do things you have no energy to do, and direct you towards performing. I will let you know that when I wear off, that I am all you desire to keep you going and what you look forward to.
When you're done drinking, remember that I will wait for you tomorrow morning.
