I hate you and I hate her.

I love you but I don't think I can trust you anymore.

I look up to her, want to be friends, but I don't think me or her could handle it.

You told me you both agreed yet here we are again. Here I am hurting again and doubting myself.

I get why she ran to you, she had no other way. But why did you have to run to her? I knew I wasn't enough, but still this hurts.

Who's idea was it anyways?

You say you thought of me but how can I believe that?

You don't get why I'm not confident? It's because of things like this. You saw how I'm treated at home. You don't get to see how the rest of the world sees me. So many I love have either cheated on those close to me or cheated on me. So when the one person who is convincing me to come out of this castle I've built around me hurts me this badly... I don't know what to do.

That's a lie. I know what to do. Tell you how I feel. But I can't. I don't want to hurt anyone. So I bite it back and keep my mouth shut. I smile when I see her, dry the tears that come when I see her with her boyfriend and I know he doesn't know. I'm envious of him. He's not hurting like I am, but I know he's hurting.

I'm sorry I'm still holding on to all of this. I think it's because I haven't communicated it.

Like usual you're right...

I need to open up and talk about how I feel.

But it's even harder now when I'm afraid of hurting you, not trying to hurt myself, and trying to be honest.


The author's comments:
I felt like righting about something sad but romantic. So I took something that happened to someone I know and wrote as if I had been in the situation.

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

I'm happy you could feel the emotions I put in it, but I'm so so sorry it made you cry!

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

Thank you for posting this, I can feel your pain behind the words, and I can relate to it.

Stay alive because tomorrow could be worth it.

I have never cried so much over a piece of writing.
