strolling through the store in a chipper mood

I head to the check out line with a basket of food

I get into line and begin to wait

standing there with nothing to do, something I really hate

so checking to make sure I got everything, I look over my list to be sure

I start just looking around  and then I saw....HER

beautiful hair, incredible smile and sparkling eyes

then suddenly she spoke to me, it took me by suprise

she said "hello, how are you" with a rather large grin

I stutter a little but managed a "pretty good, how have you been"

I jokingly blurt out "do you come here often" for lack of something better to say

She laughs and replies back "feels like I'm come here every day"

I still am in shock that this beautiful woman is standing here talking to me

Could this be love? it just might be

my mind races to come up with what to do now

I have to make the next move,  just not sure how

I should ask for her phone number, yes thats what I should do

she says it's "3522"

I reply with "is that your cell or home number"

she say's "sir...that's your total $35.22" could I feel any dumber

I thought I had found true love this very day

but like so many times before it just slipped away
