I loved her since childhood,
Her memory fresh in my mind,
Passing by, I saw her again,
Her face familiar, yet undefined.

Stepping out of Walmart,
Groceries in my hand,
I saw her parked next to ours,
But with another, a wedding band.

My heart ached as I put away,
The groceries for my folks,
Sat in the backseat, alone,
My emotions too much to provoke.

I couldn't take the chance,
For fear she wouldn't recall,
The boy who loved her dearly,
And...
