♥♥♥French vanilla cappuccino in my hands tantalizes my taste buds with its rich aroma. A flavor I know all too well, even though it’s been years since my last cup. I wait patiently for it to cool, and my thoughts begin to drift. Before long I am in a place and time twelve long winters ago. The winter my love affair with this delicious treat began. ♥♥♥Several times a week I would stop in the local convenient store and purchase two cups of this frothy taste of heaven. One for myself, and one for you. Our shared treat gave us shared conversations. Chats from the mundane all the way to the very most profound. Our shared treat gave us shared laughter. Sometimes a short giggle and other times laughter that made my sides ache. Our shared treat gave us a friendship and a love that has never been casual and has forever been life altering.
I have not seen you in over a decade, and yet every cappuccino I smell reminds me of those days so very long ago. And of you, our friendship, and what might have been. My cappuccino memories……YUMMY!!!
dedicated to RWP with thanks for being you when I needed you most.
