Coffee With Jesus

I have coffee with Jesus
Yes, of course I do
My coffee is on my night stand
And I speak to him of you.

I tell him of past events
Of how I let you down,
And how are one time closeness
Has shut completely down.

I ask for your forgiveness
When I spoke of love for you,
I never meant to hurt you 
Speaking only words of truth.

There is a coldness in our chatter 
As we discuss the latest trends,
We speak about the weather
And this is where it ends.

Yes I do have coffee with Jesus
I need him to be in touch,
Does Jesus have coffee with me?
I doubt it very much.
