Love That Lingers Too Long
The slow trickle of water through freshly ground coffee is akin to a love that knows no haste. It moves at its own pace, lingering in the air and wrapping itself around you like a well-worn sweater on a brisk morning. Coffee, much like love, thrives in the unhurried moments, where every drip is a heartbeat, every pause a breath held.
☕️ The Deeper Sip
In the quiet solitude of early dawn, before the world stirs, the ritual begins. A pour-over, much like a cherished relationship, demands patience and precision. The kettle whispers as it pours, a gentle stream that dances over the grounds, releasing an aroma that conjures memories of laughter shared and silences held dear. It's a symphony of senses — the earthy embrace of coffee intertwined with the bittersweet tang of longing.
As the water filters through, it is a reminder of the transient nature of moments. Each drip echoes with the weight of unsaid words and lingering goodbyes. Have you ever watched a cup fill so slowly that it felt like a lifetime wrapped in a heartbeat? It's chaotic, this waiting — a rebellion against the rush of life, a stand for savoring the now. Yet, in this chaos, there is clarity. The clarity that some goodbyes are not abrupt but stretch out, like the final notes of a favorite song, fading but never forgotten.
Coffee and love, both rebels in their own right, remind us of the beauty in taking things slow. Why rush a goodbye when you can savor each moment it clings to? The slow drip of coffee is a dance, a rebellion against forgetting, a connection to something deeper. It's a reminder to linger just a little longer, to let the love seep in as deeply as the coffee stains the porcelain cup.
