Love Brews

Coffee Shop Coquettishness

By Ryan BurkeyPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

Bustling cafe, two tables

Eyes meet, smiles traded

Furtive glances, playing spy

Behind newspapers, laptops, lattes: faces hide

Is there a ring?

None to be seen

Are they here alone?

Or with someone close?

Dare make a move?

Or let fate continue?

Number written on nakpin,

Let’s see what happens
