A CUP OF SOLACE

Every time I feel the warmth of the cup, it’s like feeling the warmth of the person across me.

Every time I inhale the aroma, the scent of the person I’m with lingers in the deepest memory.

Every time I take sip and taste the bitter-sweet goodness, I can hear the tired and restless soul starting to relax and savor the calmness even just for a while.

By So it was never just about the coffee. For every cup is a moment. Every cup has a story. Every cup is special.
