Pineapple for One

I saw you last week, Doing your weekly food shop.    
Well, It wasn't you,    
Obviously,    
But for the briefest of moments when my mind      
wasn't paying attention, I Jumped the fence    
and ran to the woods.    
     
     
Thought we were sharing the same trolley, Not    
for one, But one another, Shopping for two.    
You laughed, Wishing it were something I had    
said, Than the person you were with..    
     
     
Was she your sister or work colleague?, I know,    
I know, I was just dreaming, Daytime delights      
the mind when dreaming is afoot.    
     
     
Why did she put a pineapple in the trolley?    
Does she not know how you dislike pineapple?,    
I hope she's sick..    
Actually I wish her well, I wished you well,    
didn't I?      
You know,    
when you walked.      
     
     
I saw that slight of hand Mr!  That hand lingered    
a little too long on her behind. I wish you  ha..    
oh it don't matter,    
My mind has that lingering habit too, Where you're    
concerned.    
     
     
Why she so in charge? shopping is for two when      
two are shopping, No?    
Following behind, Sexual equality in reverse,    
Equality, Three letters too long for my liking     
Though I would never make you walk behind me
right now, Even if I wore those tight jeans that
showed off my pert derrière like she does.    
More peachy these days you see, That's what
happens when you don't use it, You know what I mean?    
I bet she uses hers..    
     
     
Oops I've been seen, Captured, Returned to camp.    
My mind guards what needs to be guarded,    
A little too well.    
Just sometimes I'm allowed a day pass.    
good behaviour sucks.
