Same chair by the window
Same song on low repeat
I order what you loved
Out of old habit, not belief
The barista nods like always
I nod like I’m okay
But your laugh is in the foam
And it won’t go away
I watch the door for no reason
Like you might walk in with the rain
I tell myself “move on”
Then I do it all again
I’m back to that café
Where we said “forever” too easy
The coffee tastes the same
But it hits me like I’m missing you
I don’t call, I don’t chase
I just sit with your name in my cup
I’m back to that café
And I hate how I still show up
Your photo’s gone from my wallet
But the outline stayed
Your half of the table
Is a quiet, empty place
I scroll past old messages
Stop right before I break
Then I breathe into my hands
Like warmth is something I can fake
If you ever miss me too
Just say it, just once
I’ll be here for a minute
Then I’ll finally run
I’m back to that café
Where we said “forever” too easy
The coffee tastes the same
But it hits me like I’m missing you
I don’t call, I don’t chase
I just sit with your name in my cup
I’m back to that café
And I hate how I still show up
Your photo’s gone from my wallet
But the outline stayed
