the coffee shop

An Old man silently makes his usual way through the dull streets of London ... He goes through his daily routine of visiting his favourite coffee shop . This shop held two things for him one was the espresso he loved and the other was the memories of the girl he loved 

Today like any other  day he visited the shop took his usual spot beside the window and waited for his coffee . he half expected it to be her serving him his coffee with a smile that was worth dying for but it was the other serving girl Melissa or molly sum thing he never really paid attention . whenever he came to this coffee shop it was Samantha that caught his attention .The memories that this place contained was too much for him today , this place was his favourite but  These walls held nothing but regret and guilt .
the old man quickly went down memory lane  questions forever haunts him , endless questions and possibilities taints his soul for eternity

The memory hit him so hard , He felt a knot in his stomach . he could remember it well though old age had taken several memories from him this one simply could not be taken, it felt like it had happened yesterday  It was his first visit to the coffee shop and after a long enduring day he felt he needed a long break from his dreadful work of selling houses to people he hated ,the so called upper class had an attitude that could bring migraines to even the most jolly and happiest person in the world . Then something wonderful had happened he had seen the smile , not just any smile but he had seen the smile of the most beautiful girl in town .her cheery voice and gleam in her eyes had driven away the thoughts of any ungrateful buyer . Upon seeing her something in me had burst and he knew the very minute that his heart was hers and hers alone to keep .In appearance she wasn't much Her eyes were a rich chocolate brown , Her hair was a perfect chestnut colour , and yet he fell for her It was instant love .

He couldn't stop looking at her hours turned to days , days to months ,months to years but his love for her did not wander nor did it stray , but all he could do was look he couldn't express his love towards her , he had kept his feelings in check because of his fears , his fear had controlled him more than his love had .these questions had been buried inside his mind and they could not be answered What if she doesn't love me ? what is she loves someone else ? what if gods forbid she already married someone else ? these questions may have been easy but the answer to these questions could not be found by just looking . So years had gone by without words , and without clarity and faced the excruciating pain of not being with her, not being able to comfort her , not being able to make her smile of not being able to love her 

One fine night, the man woke to the ringing of the telephone and he answered the call , the call was from the local police station . his friend had met with an accident and he had to come visit her .he hurriedly got dressed and went to the hospital to see the love of his life in her death bed , he couldn't control himself any more and the last words he heard from Samantha was i love you.
