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
