Fawlty Showers 2

But You Didn’t

I had wanted to put off correcting the tests, but I hadn’t.  I thought about people who beat themselves up over what they almost did, or wanted to do, but didn’t.

“I wanted to drink so bad I shook, but I didn’t. But damn, how I wanted that drink.”

“Doc’s got me on a strict diet.  Don’t know how I’ve stuck to it, I’ve got no willpower.”

“Could have gone home with him, but I didn’t.  I feel terrible that I was even tempted.”

“I fought the urge to smack that smirk right off his face.  I walked away instead. You don’t know how much I wanted to hit him.”

“The kid who sat next to me is a genius, I coulda cheated off him, but I didn’t.  There’s something really wrong with me because God, I really wanted to.”

“I stared at my phone for hours thinking about calling my dealer, but I didn’t.  Guess I’m just an addict at heart.”

I wanted to tell those folks you came right up to the line, but you didn’t cross it. Don’t beat yourself up, be glad you didn’t.

 

Today I’ll be glad I didn’t cross the line.
