"How to make a cup of coffee last Forever..."
Step by step:
1. Choose the only two matching coffee mugs that you have. The one's you bought for your first Christmas together. A girl bunny on her's, a boy bunny on his, both with the year you met on them. She resisted buying them, fearing that they would jinx your still budding love. They didn't.
2. Go to the cupboard and select the special low acid coffee that you always buy from the same local coffee shop. The one that you and your love 'discovered' together when you were out riding your bicycles and a cloudburst made you take refuge there. It was the most warming cup of coffee that you had ever had, and the first time that you had ever noticed how breath-takingly beautiful her brown eyes were.
3. Grind the beans in your restaurant quality coffee grinder. Remember how you were so upset over how much it cost. The argument you had, It was the first time that you went to bed angry with each other. She was crying in her sleep and you woke her and consoled her, saying that you've changed your mind, it was worth the price because quality endures. And it does.
4. Use the French Press because its idiot proof. It magically always makes a perfect cup of coffee. The first time you had ever seen one was when she used it to make coffee after your first night together. It seemed so cosmopolitan. She did a faux tea ceremony that stole your heart.
5. Add 2 packets of the blue artificial sweetener. How does she tell the difference? They all taste the same to you, but your not the coffee goddess.
6. Carry the two mugs of coffee and a moo cow creme dispenser that an old boy friend bought her. You were so jealous for so long. But it was one of her few happy memories from before you met. How can you resent it?
7. Hold her mug for her as she takes her first few sips. Soon the caffeine will do its magic and she will brighten and the world will start again. There will be tough times ahead but this is not one of them.
8. Cherish her. Forever.
