One last Coffee

By Stephanie Sideways

Meet me for this one last coffee
So we can kiss our last goodbyes
Sit close and be as awkward as me
(one more look into your eyes)

Then Somehow I'll hide you inside me
deep within my vaulted chest
Please wipe the trail of my mascara
And wish my weary heart at rest!

...sad poem, but I'd hate to miss an opportunity for coffee...

Poignant and as you surmise probably for the best, to part with only the best of memories still intact. Your 2nd and 4th line rhymes were very subtle, well done!
