coffee stains

Everyday, when I come home from work, I find little coffee stains on the counter and on the floor left by my lover and the dripping coffee pot that morning. I can't say that I mind them. They are a reminder that he got out of our bed that day. After being in a long distance relationship for 4 and a half years, this thought is very comforting.  Even though I need a clean counter space before I start cooking dinner, I recently decided that this little feeling needed to be recorded.
