I mean, I got to, but it was bound to be a part of my story. And figuring out what to do with that love now is confusing and unclear, because life doesn't always jive with matters of the heart. Sometimes it's completely unfair because it draws you into something you can't have, but you do. Your path crosses with someone else's and you can't help but walk with that someone for a while. And that walk may be grand, - it may be all sorts of things, including short, shorter than you'd like.
But if you've had that love, it may just have had to be a part of your walk. That helps me to sort through my feelings now, because the love doesn't just go away. If it's good and it's deep, it doesn't have to be cultivated forever to be an important part of my story, and I believe, a part of his, too. I felt privileged to love him and privileged to be his.
It had to happen.
