Peace, Love, and Coffee

I always thought there would be a sign; a sign that would tell me who the one was. You know -- the one. That one person who can make your heart beat faster by just a glance. The one who knows how much sugar and cream to put in your coffee. The one who knows just how to make you feel the perfect amount of love. The one who can bring your mind to peace.
I always thought there would be that one little sign somewhere in my life. After twenty-one years of signless love (petty little affairs; quick kisses, limited happiness, fruitless attempts) I thought maybe there wasn't someone really there for me. There wasn't a single person put on this earth to make me feel complete.
After I stopped looking, it was there; the sign. In the most obvious place possible.
