Between Sips of Coffee

The way your nails look against 
your favorite coffee mug every morning 
The way you can’t sit still and forever fidget 
switching the way your legs are crossed 
The way one of your eyes blinks making you look 
as though your mind is taking pictures
The way you force your hair behind your ears
when you hear something beautiful
The way you set fire to my insides
by just breathing in between words
The way you talk about the change in weather
in such a profound, but cliche, way
The way you bite your chapped lips
when your thoughts are spinning backwards
The way your freckles seem to multiply in front of me
I want to gather them together and kiss them
The way you pull your shirt down
your body moving distantly underneath
The way you drive me crazy begins every morning 
between sips of coffee

This is so beautiful in a simple way. I like how you take the tiniest surface details and make them emotionally significant without overexplaining.
