An Open Letter To Coffee

You were my first love and taught me what love was.

An Open Letter To Coffee

From that first sip in the morning to that very last drop in my glass. I don't know what I would ever do without you. You make me happy as I can feel the coldness of each sip run down my throat and into my stomach. Ever since I can remember, I have always been fond of you. From stealing sips of my mom's coffee to eventually convincing her to let me have my own, I couldn't think of any other love that is greater than the love I have for you.

I'll admit, at first I didn't know what I was doing. I drowned you with flavored coffee creamer and loaded you with tons of sugar. I was toxic to you and tried to change you so you would be what I wanted you to be. But as I got older and grew wiser, I realized that you taste better when you come as you are, in your natural form. Although sometimes you're taste can still be a little to strong for me, I couldn't even begin to imagine trying to change you like I did in the past.

Whenever I'm having a bad day the first thing I can think of that will cheer me up is stopping somewhere and getting a fresh cup of coffee. It's like an instant rush of happiness as soon as I indulge in that first sip. Just you and I, in the car, windows down and the music up, only you can make my day do a complete 180 and put me into a state of bliss.

And there's no better co-pilot than you. You go so well with all the music I like to listen to and you don't even though a fuss when I have the same song on repeat for 30 minutes. I feel like I'm on top of the world when I'm driving around with you next to me in my cup holder.

I don't know what I would ever do without you in my life. You're like the sun to my shine, the peanut butter to my jelly, and of course the coffee to jumpstart my morning. Without you my life would be incomplete and insignificant. I will love you to the end.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
