Coffee

It’s what gets me up in the morning It motivates me every day Coffee A normal person might say my dog Or having to use the bathroom Okay, a sad normal person would say that Some things should just be legalized Like letting me marry coffee It makes me a morning person Coffee puts a smile on my face Even when I don’t care what the other person is talking about Coffee makes me a better person That’s what your partner is supposed to do, right? Coffee always smells good I’ll never smell stinky feet or sweat with coffee I also love how when I take a sip it feels like fire going down my throat Love can hurt, right? Coffee can’t be perfect Neither can your significant other I just broke a million hearts I’ve read enough love stories I’ve heard enough love songs Every single one is about heartbreak, getting over someone Or hating the person you were with Coffee would never leave me Or cheat on me Coffee wouldn’t care how clingy I am Plus it would keep me warm in the winter I’ll take my daily dose of caffeine over love, any day of the week One cup of sugar For the day before and having to wake up to a new Two cups of sugar For whatever stands in my way for the next 24 hours I am invincible I swear it’s not the caffeine talking If I’m feeling sweet Some creamer would be perfect Hazelnut isn’t sweet enough French vanilla is too sweet Other creamers make my teeth feel gritty Black coffee is too boring But life doesn’t change for any of them My mind is happy with coffee Mindset is all that matters While my friend complains about her boyfriend I take a sip of my scorching hot coffee To stop myself from saying something I’ll regret Coffee you are a lifesaver Rainy days, drink coffee Sunny days drink some cold coffee Mondays, drink a lot of coffee When life gets really, really hard Bring coffee with you everywhere Put some creamers in your pocket Always carry sugar packets It’s not illegal to smuggle coffee You’re just prepared for the worst I’ve measured my days with coffee spoons So far it’s working out great
