I saw you, in a crowded store
and I walked behind you
looked at your cart full of junk
and said
"Drake, how you manage to eat all of that
and still stay fit is beyond me"
you turned around when you heard me
and smiled as you opened up your arms for a hug
but I didn't hug you
why didn't you tell me you were back in town?
"I thought you were mad at me"
I wasn't mad
"Well, you should be mad at me"
Why?
"I left you. I left you for her, and she was no good for me"
You hugged me
and said you missed me
and called me your little Laila, like you used to
you told me that you
found out you didn't love her
so you came back
and asked
if you could come over tomorrow night
and that'd be nice
because I haven't been able to sleep
there's so much to tell you
there's so much to say
but let's just stay here
hugging in the middle of Walmart
in the shampoo aisle to be exact
because sometimes
little moments heal big heartaches
more than time.
