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 ..."
