Taking Starbucks by Storm

by Josh   Feb 16, 2007


You know that table?
That table in the corner that was only meant for one...

Sure the seats are comfortable
And the coffee still tastes great
But that's not why I'm there
No...that's not the reason at all
I'm there because of you
Because there's another table like mine
It's not even too far away
Just a few feet at most
And there you are
As always
Sipping your coffee
And sitting at that table

You know that table?
That table in the corner that was only meant for one...

Maybe it's the name on your cup
That always happens to be different
Maybe it's the way your lips curve
Into an amused smile
When they catch me staring at you
Or maybe it's your eyes
The way they light up
This happens quite often...
You see
That's the reason I came
To watch you at your table
To watch your lips smile
To watch your eyes sparkle
When they glance at mine...

You know that table?
That table in the corner that was only meant for one...

You changed tables today
I have to admit
It caught me off guard
Why you did it
I'll never know
But I'm glad you did
Because it changes things
Everything
My table is still open
And I still sit down
But it doesn't feel right
Because you aren't there
Because you switched tables...

You know that table?
That table against the wall that was meant for two...

Excuse me miss...
Is this seat taken next to you?
