Test Drive Love 

I loved him so much, I thought it would always be enough. You know? But it never was enough. He loved me but never the same. He loved me like a test drive that never convinced him, while I was already parked in the garage of forever. Makes me sad, but at the same time, I’m pissed. You think something is meant to be until it all goes to shit and now am I supposed to call it a mistake? A lesson? I didn’t learn anything, except you can’t make people love the way you do. I wasn’t in it for a lesson and I’ve had enough mistakes. I wanted him to be the one… but now I watch him from afar, living a perfect life without me.   -Stephanie Bennett-Henry ©2016
