After I Do

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Ryan and I are two people who used to be in love. What a beautiful thing to have been. What a sad thing to be.

Maybe it doesn’t matter if you need someone during the everyday moments of your life. Maybe what matters is that when you need someone, they are the one you need. Maybe needing someone isn’t about not being able to do it without them. Maybe needing someone is about it being easier if they are by your side.

“Just because you can live without someone doesn’t mean you want to,”

It’s Ryan. It’s always been Ryan. Just because I can live without him doesn’t mean I want to.
