Coffee Cup -edited

[milo]

Hi JakMak I wrote this about someone I was briefly infatuated with - who I'd never kissed (and never ended up kissing - the attraction wore off quickly) so It didn't occur to me it could be taken to be about a more seasoned love... as its been pointed out it's all a bit vague anyhow... still I enjoyed writing it, and I'm glad you enjoyed the result.

I think it's the "me" in the first line that gives the impression of a longer relationship.

"After you left me I refilled the cup"
"After you left I refilled the cup"

Two different things to me, not that I think you need to change your poem if it's not important to you, sometimes it's interesting for a poem to be taken as other than it was intended.

I read the "me" as indicating he wasn't coming back. "After you left" - after you left the house, "After you left me" - after you left the relationship.
