I love him. I still do and I always will. He was a huge wave that left a
lot of imprints on my life, and I’ll feel the weight of that love until I
die. I’ve accepted that.
But things are different now. After today when he walked out of my
office, I thought long and hard about us. I think our lives are where
they’re supposed to be. I have Ryle. Atlas has his girlfriend. We both
have the careers we’d always hoped for. Just because we didn’t end up
on the same wave, doesn’t mean we aren’t still a part of the same
ocean.
Things with Ryle are still fairly new, but I feel that same depth with
him that I used to feel with Atlas. He loves me just like Atlas did. And
I know if Atlas had a chance to get to know him, he would be able to
see that and he’d be happy for me.
Sometimes an unexpected wave comes along, sucks you up and
refuses to spit you back out. Ryle is my unexpected tidal wave, and
right now I’m skimming the beautiful surface.
