Coffee Shop Girl


Here is my Valentine poem. I've been wanting to write a love-ish poem for awhile, but never have had much reason to. But this idea has been floating in my mind and so here it is. Have a Happy Valentine's day everyone. Whether single or in a relationshit, make the best of it. I will be working. That is all. <3

There is a silhouette inside my mind
Of a woman in the future, ahead in time
The ideal picture is foggy, and yet a dream
But I imagine I’ll know her, the instant she’s seen
I want a girl that can drink her coffee black
And still enjoy sweeter things, while typing on a Mac
A fellow writer, artist, a kindred spirit with whom I can relate
Someone with dreams and ambitions, to do something great
Someone to calm my nerves when stress abounds
And sit with me awhile when I fall down
A coffee-shop girl with a character, so bold
Who can curse like a sailor, but have a heart of gold
She’ll be a girl with whom things make sense
And I’ll pray to God she’s got chill parents
I hope she and I don’t need each other at all
The best love comes from choices, and so in love, I’ll fall

  1. Like "don't need each other at all". It's true that love isn't about need, but about want--wanting each other. Not quite need, because you can both stand on your own two feet. You just want to do it side by side together.

    I hope you find that girl, Josh!
