Spill it

“Spill it,” Ryan said.

I could tell he was tired of my pensive
sadness.

            “I don’t want to,”
I said.

            “Why?” he asked.

            “Cause it’s over. It
was over before, but now it’s really over,” I said.

            “If you love him,
why is it over?” he asked.

            I watched the sun
sink lower in the sky throwing a bright line of light across the ocean at us. I
didn’t answer him.

            “Come on Morgan,
tell me,” he said. “I’m a good listener.”

            I looked at him
trying to conjure up a decent answer.
           “Just because you
love someone doesn’t always make it right, make it work."
