I will make you a cup of tea
The shade you like
The warmth you find comforting
The sweetness you find acceptable
And you’ll savour it
And recall all the other cups
In your long, eventful life
And you will be you safe this afternoon
As you drift
As it rains outside
As I say I love you
As I put the cup in your paper skin hand.
Reaching outside of all recognition
As I cease to exist for you
But you are still there
Drinking the tea
That someone kind brought you once.
