Excerpts from A Warm Cup

I nod. Looking at the way you hesitate to take my hand, resting so near yours, I know you've already gone. I will make it easy for both of us, I tell myself. I will forget the feel of your hands on my skin. I will smile and tell you that I'm happy for you because that is what I want to believe. I will not hope you will be back soon nor say that I wish I were going with you. Instead, I will keep in mind that there is nothing between us anymore. It's just that the coffee is too warm, and I am so cold.
