Walking Through a Grocery Store
by @CarloAntonio
Walking through a grocery store
An ordinary day, nothing more
I'm reminded for a little while
When we held hands and walked a similar isle ...
Then waves of loneliness rip at my heart
I suddenly can't bare that we are apart
There in the store I almost cried
This is too silly, no one died
After all, we know we will find a way
To be together finally and forever, one day
And yet the "what if's" invade my mind
And fears I thought I'd left behind
Wishing desperately that you were here
To wipe away my silly tear
If you were here I'd hold you tight
And kiss you and make love to you throughout the night
But for now these dreams will have to wait
I should check out, it's getting late
I load the car, drive back alone
Imagining you're waiting at home
I deeply sigh as I walk through the door
Feel I could cry just as before
My once warm home seems uninviting
Without you to dance with the nights are not exciting
I put up the groceries, sit alone in the night
Then go my desk and begin to write ...
"Walking through a grocery store ..."
