I’m here

And so is everyone else. But some are still over there.
I wave to them. But I stay here.
Won’t you come here? I ask sheepishly, at first. I entice with things I already like about here: The coffee is nice. Not perfect. But, then, how perfect does coffee have to be?
“Well some things should be perfect,” they say, well-meaningly. “Well, maybe not coffee but there are some things you won’t put with over here since you claim they aren’t as good as over there.”

This person is confused. They thing there is here and vice versa. This always happens in these conversations. It’s best just to wave and smile. Sometimes you apologize for your confusion (It helps to say its yours because they won’t except “ours.”)

“Don’t apologize,” they say. “Your fine.”

But you aren’t, you want to say.”Just stay over there. And I’ll stay here. I’m waving? Do you see me?”

But they are too busy making coffee. Their version.
