The Coffee Shop Where We First Met (I Went Back) - SoloWalk

I went back today
I don't know why I just did
I sat in the exact same corner
Where we shared our very first date
The table is more scratched now
And the barista has a different face
But the light comes through the window
In the same golden way at 3 PM
And for a moment I could see us sitting there
Before the mayhem
You ordered a caramel latte with oat milk extra hot no foam
I ordered a black coffee because I was trying to seem grown
We talked for three hours about nothing and everything at once
And I remember thinking this is it
This is the one
The coffee shop where we first met
It's still standing still the same
But the ghosts that live here now
Don't even know our name
I ordered your drink by accident
The habit is that deep
And I sat there drinking it
Trying not to weep
The coffee shop where we first met
I went back today alone
And I didn't cry as much as I expected on that throne
Of memory and maple wood of napkins and of sugar packets
I looked at the chair where you sat and I didn't want to hack it
To pieces I just smiled a little
Thanked the waitress paid my bill
The coffee shop where we first met has finally lost its chill
It's just a place that sells caffeine now
Not a cathedral of our love
I walked out into the rain and looked up at the sky above
I think I needed to see that places
Don't hold ghosts unless we let them
I think I needed to know that I could sit where
We first met and not forget them
But also not fall apart
Not crumble not call you on the drive back home
The coffee shop where we first met
I went back and I survived
And I walked in alone
And I walked out alone
And I was okay on my own
Hmmm
