I could have done something else, anything else

"I saw you sitting on the side of the road today." I said.
"You did?" You said.
"You looked broken." I said.
"I felt like I couldn't try anymore." You said.
"Perhaps if I'd been braver I would have stopped." I said.
"Perhaps if you were a lot of things this would have been different." You said.

There didn't seem to be anything else to say so I sat at the table and played with the zip on my jacket.

You looked out the window.
I knew you were somewhere else but I didn't ask where.

I wish I had now.
