It Might Be You

do I know you? 
are we close and I just don't know it?
or are you just a kid I walked by in a airport,
or the supermarket, were you buying 7up?
or in the liquor store; your dad had to buy something for a dinner party
and you looked back at me through the ugly plate glass window 
while you mindlessly grabbed a lollipop from the bowl they had at the counter. 
I think you got pineapple.
and then I walked away, carrying the groceries. 
maybe our paths will cross again
will I even recognise it when they do?

    Because I know I’ll be found.
