GRAVY TRAIN

Today started a long time ago.
It was dark then
As it is now 

I keep thinking of the woman in Asda. 
The one who stopped me mid aisle 
and apologised for troubling me 
she asked me 
if I could reach up 
and grab two pots of gravy. 

I gladly gave her what she asked for 
we looked at each other for a while 
then I walked away 

I saw her later in the wine section 
but said nothing
later I thought that maybe 
I should of asked her
if she needed anything else 

but what else would a lady need 
but two big pots of gravy.?
