We Were Lovers

We meet inside the café
The air is thick like hospital
Choked by the gold on your finger
We were lovers
Bury the thoughts that resurface
Those hands were mine
And now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting here like strangers
You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you, it was really you
Staring into my coffee
It is not black just a shade of brown
Too scared to let our eyes meet
What will we see?
The space between us
Will not be beat
Oceans and past lives
We were lovers
