With wrong people and coffee

these are the days
we won't get back
our missing moments
daylight gone black

coffee sits poured
in two separate pots
you and i wherever
not alone with our thoughts

you take a sip
that i will never see
smile at whoever
that isn't me

and i will take a drink
and savor the taste
smile back at someone
as i remember your face

this morning is wasted
with wrong people and coffee
our dreams like tomorrow
underfoot, just out of reach

but in our mornings to come
when i pour, and you drink
i will remember today
and i won't forgive us, i think

we will have our tomorrow
and the days after that
we'll race dreams to somewhere
and laugh all the way back

but this day is wasted
we'll never get it back
wasting time with replaceable people
until you and i are back.
