I Should Have Gone

He asked me to ride. I said no. He forgot. I didn’t. That’s the difference.


Anthony asked me to go on a bike ride.

I didn’t feel like it.

We were going to a hockey game later. I told myself that was enough.

But he looked disappointed.

And I keep thinking about that.

I don’t believe in giving in to everything. But I do believe in recognizing when I missed something small that mattered.

He probably forgot about it an hour later.

But I didn’t.

Because he asked.

And one day he won’t.
