Benson

Benson Ave and 7th street
Two roads, part of the life
We could of had

I remember how slow you drove on Benson the day I let you go. The song that was playing.

"Make a left."

I said as we neared 7th street.

The tears streaming down your face.
Streams of tears that resembled the cracks in my heart.

"I love you.", you said but I knew you meant "don't...go."
"I love you too.", I muttered but what I meant was, "I don't know why I'm going."

Holding on to the delusion that I was doing the right thing.

You knew better.
You knew what it meant.

How different our lives could of been. The pain that could of been replaced. If I had said what I wanted. What I meant to say, only a few moments before. Three words that could of changed our lives.

"Make a right."
