It is falling asleep afraid that you will see them both in your dreams.

Trying to just hold your shit together but feeling like you will fall apart.

It is feeling confused between love and hate, anger and calm, forgiveness and a grudge.

It is always feeling just that little bit unsteady.

Letting go is slow, it is hard work.

It is forever battling with your own demons, insecurities and fears.

It is trying to trust him again and not knowing where to start.

It is holding on because youre afraid that if you let go, it will happen again.

It is second-guessing everything, it is worrying that if you forgive, he will forget.

He will think it is okay to hurt you again.

And not being able to.

And you cant, you wont survive.
