Drinking Together

It was your idea to take shelter here,

warm and dry with good company, 

you said

and we could drink a coffee

until the rain stopped.

So we did.

It was fun.

But still the rain kept falling

so we played a game

took turns

to place

one hand above,

one hand below

then pushing each other away

so we could create space

for us to come together

that first time.

It was fun.

And we drink down another coffee

before we notice

that all the others had left.

Nor did we notice

that the rain had stopped.

It still makes us smile

together.
