Hygene Aisle

I'll pretend that I didn't notice you
From a dread of locking eyes
As I pushed my cart down the hygiene aisle
I thought back to a certain time

I tried to look preoccupied
As I read the ingredients to the Listerine
Then I felt a nudge on my shoulder
I turned around, acted surprised
Just like I despise

I really wish it was anyone but you
When I tried forming a smile
Things like this always seem to happen at the strangest times
Of all places, the hygiene aisle

It was the last thing in the world that I ever wanted to do
There was no chance of getting rid of you
Your stupid babble was clouding up the air
Meaningless things you felt the need to share
You felt the need to share

I really wish it was anyone but you
When I tried forming a smile
Things like this always seem to happen at the strangest times
Of all places, the hygiene aisle
