  Sorry I'm so late
  But I've been out walking
  Trying to find a way to tell you
  What I think you already know
  I'd never want to hurt you 'cause darling I still
love you 
  But things aren't like they used to be
  It's time for letting go
  
     "Hey sorry I haven't come by in awhile. I've
been extremely busy lately. I'm getting married, but
you probably already know that. I'm sorry I didn't
tell you earlier. Honey I think you'd like her.
She's just like you. Wild, fun, serious, tough, but
a bit on the young side. We met a couple months ago
at the supermarket and I think that's were it all
began."
  
  I wasn't out there looking, but a month ago last
Sunday
  I met someone just like you in line at the grocery
store
  And we've been spending time together
  Yeah she knows all about you
  The truth is she can give me 
  What you can't anymore
  
Supermarket
Washington DC
  
     "You can get in front of me if  you want."
     "What?"
     "You can get in front of me if you want. I mean
I've got this cart full and you only have that
little jar."
     "That's okay. I'm in no hurry." I smile at the
young dark headed lady in front of me.
     "I know your type, romantic, sweet, sensitive.
You probably left the kids with a sitter and cooked
this big romantic dinner for the wife." She smiled
up at me.
     "Wife?" I look at her in puzzled confusion then
she points to the gold ring that circles my left
ring finger. A painful statement crosses my face.
     "You're not divorced are you?"
     "No just...separated."
     "Oh I'm sorry." She told me as she handed her
money to the cashier.
     "Me too" I say pretending to read the jar of
sauce.
     "Look here's my number if you ever decide you
need a friend. I'd really like to see you again."
She said.
  
  I feel so much better knowing we could have this
moment
  But it looks like it may rain soon and it's getting
kind of late
  I'll always bring you roses each time I come to
visit
  The caretaker's waving, he wants to close the gates
  
Present
  
     "With that she walked out of the store but not
out of my life. We've been seeing each other for a
couple of months and I really think that she's the
one I hope to spend the rest of my life with. I know
we talked about moving on, but for some reason it
doesn't feel right. That's why I came here today
other than I like to come here is to ask you for
your approval in asking her to marry me. If there is
anyway just let me know." 
     I saw the care taker wave his hand telling me it
was time to leave. I carefully laid the roses, our
flower, I brought on top as I take my hand to my
lips and lay a gentle hand on the name.
     As I rise up and start to walk toward my car I
feel a gentle breeze brush across my cheek and as I
start up my car and pull out on the highway I hear
the starting notes of You Had Me From Hello, the
song we danced to at our wedding. That's when I know
that I have her approval. 
     "I love you Lt. Col. Sarah Mackenzie Rabb." I
say to the dead night air. I stare down at my hand
where my wedding ring once was and where another one
will soon hopefully take it's place. Even though
Sarah will always have a place in my heart I
realized it's time to move on. 
  
  Lookin' back when we first started 
  I never thought I see this day
  If only I could write the pages
  Our story wouldn't end this way
  
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
