Random Thoughts About Coffee

I tell people you are gone because you drank coffee.

It is a statement that earns me a lot of side-eyes

and it stirs up a lot of confusion.

But what they don’t know is you hated coffee.

What I didn’t know up until recently was you drank it every day because you hated it.

And what you probably don’t know is I know my mother’s principle by heart and have always lived by it.

You see, she says the ultimate goal of life is to be happy and to let someone you love also be

so I decided to let you go

hoping you would find a place where you can order tea.
