Drowning – 29
For the first couple of years after Tina left, whenever she was with someone else, she just felt like it was settling, it wasn’t Tina. Somewhere in her time with Robyn or if she really thought about it, as a result of her time with Robyn, she wasn’t settling anymore. She truly loved Robyn. She loved them together and their relationship and she loved who she was when she was with Robyn. Every once in a while, she’d see something that reminded her of Tina or she’d walk by somewhere wearing Tina’s perfume or her friends would bring up a story that reminded her and then she’s remember that she lost the person meant she was meant to love. In that moment, she could call it settling. In that moment, she remembered all she lost and she could blame herself for. But life isn’t those moments, its reality, day in and day out. That life was filled with smiles and laughter and love. It might not be the same overpowering, all consuming love that she and Tina shared, but it was real and it made her happy. Now, Tina was back. Undefined, but back. Those rare moments no longer rare but up front and in her face, reminding her of the love and life that she gave up. She sat in front of Robyn now, no clearer than she was when she was sitting in front of Tina a few hours earlier. Filled with love for two very different women, with two very different loves and two very different lives.

Tina had already gone through about three glasses of Cabernet but had yet to get past, “Jules, I don’t even know where to start.”
As Tina got up to pour herself the fourth cup, Julia stopped her. “Chris, please, you’re making me dizzy. Just sit still and talk to me. I’ll get you the wine.”
Julia was back with the wine and Tina had begun to cry again. The emotions of the day overtaking her. She waited until Julia put down the wine and had sat down before moving over and burying her head in Julia’s shoulder. As soon as she felt the safety of her friend’s embrace, she finally let the tears freely flow. The day was just too much. How do you let go of someone who you know you will always love? But how do you go back somewhere you let go of and moved on from, somewhere that took you to a place that you know you couldn’t survive again.
