Lately, I find myself reflecting on my relationship with you, dear coffee. I think back to where it all began, how my appreciation for you has blossomed over the years, and the vital role you play in my daily life as a busy mother and medical professional.
In the whirlwind of my days, I often pause to cherish the simplicity of our bond. Though it may seem casual to outsiders, the depth of our connection has only intensified. Some evenings, as I drift into slumber, your aroma lingers in my mind, and I can almost feel the warmth of your essence on my lips. I see my own reflection in you, a reminder of the comfort you bring.
I rise from bed… for you. Navigating through the chaotic landscape of toys and scattered books, I make my way to the kitchen, eager for our reunion. Most days, I can’t help but ponder how I’d manage without you. Without your presence, who would I be? How would I cope with the demands of motherhood and my profession?
Your calming influence is unparalleled. In your company, I feel anchored; you bring clarity to my thoughts and peace to my spirit. When the day becomes overwhelming—like when my children turn the living room into a play zone—my solace is found in those stolen moments with you.
At the park, amidst the chaos of chasing after one child while breaking up a pushing contest between the others, I take a deep breath and imagine having you by my side. It’s a comforting thought, knowing that soon, I will savor your rich flavor and warmth, inhaling every delightful note.
Society may frown upon dependency, but I am a person with simple desires. You fulfill a need within me that nothing else can, not even the joyful laughter of my children or the loving embrace of my spouse. I’ve shared my fondness for you with my husband; he knows the intricacies of our relationship and understands that you offer me something he cannot. On some level, he appreciates that I am more complete with you in my life.
There are times when I lose track of my surroundings, caught in a daydream, softly murmuring your name. “Coffee…” I whisper, a melody of gratitude.
