I Saw You Not

I was in the grocery store

just last week

saw your beautiful smile

reach out to me

I watched you pick something up

saw your srong and sturdy hands

remembering them holding me

at the trucking stand

I followed you closely

among the many isles

down memory lane

across the frozen miles

I noted the color of your hair

mmm, easy on my eyes

I wanted to go up and inhale you

but it would cause surprise

once next to the cereal

right by the coffee and tea

your turned your head

looked straight at me

oh your deep soulful eyes

lashes long and full

the shape of your chin

all put me in a lull

I lost all track of you

lost in a wish

came to suddenly

back to my list..

there you were at the checkout ,me behind

as you laughed with the lady

yes, it was your laugh

your laugh all the way

when you merely spoke, however

it wasn't you at all

even when you turned to me

and said "How ya doin, doll"

This happens almost every day

no matter where I'm at

I'll see you every corner

in every baseball cap...

Even though you are nowhere

it does'nt make me sad

somewhere in my heart

I'm just a little glad

so I give a little smile

and actually are quite thankful

for I saw you twenty times today

was'nt that a handful?
