you should make note of that

i ask her if she wants coffee
early in the morning
as i grind
down a handful
of beans and boil water.
this angers her.
you know i don't drink coffee
because of my heart.
i drink tea. 
green tea. you would think
after all this time
you would take note 
of that.
i get out my spiral notebook
and flip through
the pages.
i finally find her name
and scroll down with my finger.
yup. i did make note
of that last year.
no coffee, just tea.
my bad.
