Mornings should always start right , with kisses, a prayer, a hearty breakfast and most importantly – your morning coffee. Today I will teach you my own version, of how to make Jo’s Personal Caramel Macchiato, made with ingredients known and secret and created just for you. It may not be able to compete with the world class creations of coffee, but it is created with only one person in mind.
This is done gently, as with the first steps of a newborn baby, seen with delight – pouring the milk must be done with a smile, filling the heart with thoughts of nights spent in each other’s arms, and waking up to the cries of an infant waiting to be fed.
A gauge, one might say almost like a lighthouse, out there by the rocky banks of the sea. Shining a great beam of light, for the seafarers – reminding them not to go too far, or not to come too close to shore. A gauge, because you need to wait at the right time.
Ice and fire make steam or something to that effect. Steam that soothes and burns at the same time. Steam the milk, and watch it as it happens, making sure that the fire in the heart blazes as the temperature rises.
Patience, watching for the right time to say the right things – to do the right stuff. That’s what you’ve taught me, most importantly. Above all, to do everything as it should, done 1000%, given heart, even if its just creating froth.
How can you make coffee without espresso? And how can I be a wife, if you’re not my husband? It takes a special kind of coffee to make a special cup of Jo. Yes, Jo it’s spelt like that because this is Joseph’s coffee not anyone else’s.
Pour a shot, do it with care because each droplet is precious, like the family we built together. Every instance is important, each occasion special and not to be missed. But the most important memories are the simple ones in every day – like making you coffee before you get up for work or covering our children’s books with plastic.
Relationships need flavor – and you, my love have a distinct taste. Family, love, life, commitment – form this sweet subtle flavor in my mouth. It is heady and intoxicating and definitely you. You mesmerize me, and I love it.
If you are the strong tasting coffee, let me be the milk that mixes and merges with you. I will take away the bitterness and provide you with the right blend of strong coffee and sweet tasting milk. Let’s complement each other baby.
It’s like icing in your cake. Yeah, you can have the cake without the icing but would it make the experience the same? Our froth – are times when we disagree, when we laugh, when we cry and feel the same way. Finishing each other’s sentences, reading each other’s thoughts, getting the same items, eating the same meals. In sync. Yes, we can do without the froth, we’ll be ok without the froth but it makes everything so much better doesn’t it?
Time to mix baby.. Let’s merge together, day after day, night after night. Let me be the one to lay out your clothes, fix your tie and argue you with over who gets to control the remote. We won’t just have intertwined lives, but one. Like milk and espresso becomes one drink instead of two.
Do you know what design I would pick? No no, not a heart.. I’d make a pen… covered by stars that twinkle in the night sky. Because you, you are the pen that lets me write. Your love is the ink I use to create worlds out of dreams and realities out of fantasies.
And when it’s done, I will deliver it to our bed, wave the steaming cup of caramel macchiato under your nose and wake you up with a kiss. I love you, and I can't wait to make you coffee everyday, husband.
