If we were having coffee
Every paragraph needs to start with these words. Or every stanza of your poem. I would prefer prose for this one. I'm entering this one as an example.
Relationship with coffee
If we were having coffee together, you could have seen the love overflowing from my eyes
A voice call cannot capture the subtlety
Nor a video call the intensity.
If we were having coffee together, your optimism, your good nature would have lifted me
From the grey that is increasingly enveloping my core
Bringing my gentler, happier self to the fore.
If we were having coffee together,
I would never have known long-distance relationships can survive only with an occasional coffee together.
