La La La La Latte...

Dear Coffee,

I still miss you. When I said goodbye to you on New Years Day, I didn't realise you would still be on my mind all this time later. We used to go everywhere together, I loved being with you. Cold days, hot days, all day, every day. I liked it that even when you were small, you were powerful, the times you were feeling saucy and mixed yourself with chocolate, but mostly, mostly, I think of the times you used to top up with hot frothy milk and we would hang out and go shopping.

I thought I could cope without you, I thought it would get easier, but everyday without you, just makes me realise how long we've been apart. I wonder if I made the right decision, I see you happy with everyone else, I see the joy and pleasure you bring to their lives and I can't believe I just cut you out of my life like I did. I couldn't do it slowly, it had to be brutal, otherwise I would never have found the strength to give you up. My friends have been great, they've rallied around and tried to get me back out in the hot beverage world, suggesting alternatives, but it's no use, they're not you, and you are who I want. Sometimes, when my friends aren't looking, I sniff their cups...

Yours sincerely,
