Yes you, that cup of swirled skim and espresso. You are the light of my day. You make every morning one worth waking up for. Your intoxicating smell has been faithful for years, but somehow today, I am more blessed than ever. You have been there when I needed something to pick me up and open my eyes. Without you, I would have never made it through that architecture history class. Without you, my nights of staying up late would be a drag. Most importantly, without you, I would be incomplete.

There have been many days when I felt like life was one to sleep through. Life was nothing but us waiting to roll over and fall back asleep, but you take away those frightened feelings about waking up to the pounding sound of my alarm. There is comfort in knowing that I can go to that gas station on the corner or that tiny shop in town, and have faith you’ll be there waiting for me.

You are the answer to every question. Want to meet somewhere and catch up? What are you doing after this class? Rough night? Yes, you velvet cup of awakening, you are the answer to those questions. I want to wake up every morning to that sweet, sweet smell and know that you’re waiting for me, that you’re only one brew away. Morning, Night, middle of the day, you’ll be there.

Those know that if I am without you, it isn’t very pretty. My head hurts and my anger grows. My patience becomes thin. Folk tread with caution around me to avoid the quick snap of a reply I’ll give them to their mind numbing questions.

I know this is sudden and I may be drunk on you right now, by drunk I mean my drunken, eight shots deep, espresso state, but I know that you and I are meant to be together and this bond is going to be eternal. To my soul mate, I'm going to love you forever.
