If We Were Having Coffee…

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you how much I love coffee
though it keeps me up at night
when I just want to sleep

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you how much I tried to quit
that I almost succeeded,
but always lost the will.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you it’s not an addiction
that it’s good for your health,
promotes metabolism and weight loss

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you I drink to stay in shape
but more so to stay sane.
Also to you, and your health.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you I can quit anytime
Can, though I’d rather not.
And smile at your raised eyebrows.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you how much I love coffee
And warn you to “drink up,”
Or pass the cup.
