[00:00.93]"She wondered what life would be like
[00:02.58]If she was born at a different time.
[00:04.27]A time before him, or a time after him. '
[00:07.10]What a gift it is to be alive at the same time,' she thought.
[00:10.55]She would never say these words to him
[00:12.96]For she knew they would only be received as a plea for affection
[00:16.18]But she would say them to herself
[00:17.94]Because she believed them to be true
[00:19.29]
[00:19.84]He was no longer speaking to her
[00:21.70]But he was surely still speaking about her
[00:23.95]The two were no longer in love
[00:25.81]But now just two strangers in a grocery store
[00:28.76]Strangers in separate isles
[00:30.77]Completely unaware that their former lover was just three rows away.
[00:34.64]Two strangers with an abundance of beautiful memories.
[00:37.24]He would continue to search for love in other men and women
[00:40.77]She would decide to be alone
[00:42.72]But in this moment, as one looked through bruised vegetables
[00:46.35]And the other looked for the right brand of buttermilk bread
[00:49.42]They both had hope that their soulmate was out there. '
[00:51.88]
[00:52.34]What a gift it is to be alive at the same time,' she thought
[00:55.67]As she passed by an aisle and saw a familiar face.
[00:58.08]He would die four years before her
[01:00.28]And she would live to see his wife remarry.
[01:02.50]She would be invited to the wedding
[01:04.45]For she would be friends with the new husband
[01:06.45]As the ceremony would begin
[01:08.66]She would go outside and smoke a pack of cigarettes. '
[01:11.58]What a gift it is to be alive at the same time,'
[01:14.40]She would think, as she looked at his soulmate
[01:16.71]Now ready to marry another.
[01:18.57]But for now, she was just grocery shopping
[01:21.33]Because she needed to plan for her future without him
[01:23.89]As she passed the aisle that he was in
[01:26.85]She whispered to herself. '
[01:28.10]Let me be your violent smile.'
[01:30.66]That's what I need."
