One push and its over.
No more questioning our strength.
No more growing frustrated when you make progress, only for it to all slip through your fingers again.

But this will never be the case, and it shouldnt be.
When things end unexpectedly, most of the time, there is a what if?
lingering above your head.
What if they could change?
What if I was too harsh?
What if it was the right person at the wrong time?
What if they could have made it up to me if I hadnt cut them off?
But darling, these will always be hypotheticals.
Letting go can happen overnightthere is no doubt about that.
Letting go must happen in stages.
First, you will hurt.
You will give them a second chance.
You will believe in their good intentions, and you will let your guard down.
And then you will probably get hurt again, because what do they say about history?
It always repeats itself.
This time around, you will tell yourself you are over them.
But months down the track, youll let them back in again.
And you might be angry at yourself for doing it.
This cycle will repeat until one day, you’re able to no longer deny the reality.
Once you get to that final point, that is when you will be able to truly let go.
And you will eventually let them go for good, even if right now it doesnt feel like it.
