Tell you what, we could a had a good life together, a fuckin real good life. You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain. Everthing built on that. It's all we got, boy, fuckin all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest.
“Can we ride today?”
Ennis had been prepared for the question for weeks and the answer in his mind had flip-flopped depending on how their day at the ranch was going.
“Well, I don’t know. Gotta go over some stuff first...you remember what we talked about?”
Ben sighed and recited, “I remember: always keep my head up and watch where I’m going, listen for anything weird, pay attention to one thing at a time...”
“What’s another thing?”
“When I’m leading a horse, always walk on the left side...Granpop, I remember everything, and I’ll be careful, but if we don’t ride pretty soon I won’t wanna come up here anyway so I guess I can be safe in my bedroom.”
Maybe it was his frame of mind, maybe it was the way he heard the words out of the mouth of a six year old, maybe it just took all this time and thinking and missing...the words echoed in his mind, the sound of them fading and coming back strong again...
We could a had a good life together...

I hope he's learned his lesson, that being safe doesn't mean hiding out in your room, your little world. Keep your head up, be aware of your surroundings, listen for anything out of place... could've been a good life, a safe one.
Wonder if this echo will continue to come back strong again in the coming months of summer.
Thanks again.
Bud
