You’ve Passed By This Intersection

you’ve passed by this intersection enough times to know whose light turns green after you’ve had those petty fights enough times to know that neither of you really mean what you say you’ve been in this traffic jam enough times to know that it was actually better to take the other route and you didn't take the other route enough times to know that you always, somehow, make the wrong choices you’ve broken up with the same lover enough times to know that the break-up isn’t really a break-up you've messed up your life enough times to know that you might be the problem you’ve known you were the problem enough times to realize that you probably can’t do better you've apologized for the same mistake enough times to know that you’re not actually sorry you’ve made the same promise enough times to know that you can’t really fulfill it you’ve heard the same line over and over enough times to know that it’s never going to get better but there is no such thing as enough. and you’ve said that enough times too.
