Her lipstick leaves perfect imprints
On his mug as she finishes his coffee
The cup is wonderful like him
Even if it is chipped.
The red envelope
ripped open
the card
In her hands.
Her heartm
flutters
beating with
the kitchen clock.
Smiling softly
she slowly opens the card
reaching for another chocolate
In the box next to the cup.
She reads his words again
her heart beats faster
her smile grows wide
showing a bit of chocolate
on her lower lip.
The clock struck midnight
the box of chocolates empty
like the kitchen is now
But his chipped mug
now full of her tea
lipstick still staining
the empty box
The dog ratted card
made her full again
