Her First Smile

I first saw her at the old coffee shop Her fervent lips licking the silver spoon Mesmerized, with her heavenly beauty Not wanting, but fell in love at first sight. I dressed to impress, in crisp white and black, To serve my love in a red coffee-mug; Latte-Art, Espresso Shot, Microfoam To make her feel happy, I learnt 'em all. She would sip, pull the zip, and leave a tip, But I longed for a while to see her more, Alas! I couldn't say those magical words; So, I chose to walk away from her life One day, I saw her at the city bar Serving wine; that's when I saw her first smile Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
