Rip tides
For a year that has been mostly full of pleasant surprises, and for a boy who has taken too many chances--this might be more than typical ebb and flow.
Sigh. It's past midnight on a very warm evening, and I'm deeply pondering if you're simply a rip tide threatening to break into this messy twenty-something's life.
A rip tide, of course, is described as a very strong offshore current that can sometimes prove fatal. And conventional wisdom dictates that's what you are--something dangerous, something to be avoided.
But maybe, just maybe, you'll be the exact opposite. Maybe, you'll be the swell to lift up one's dampened spirits. Or the gentle ripple in a sea of stormy thoughts.
Maybe, after all, you're what this boy needs--and wants.
