The hardest part

There comes a time in a person's life where they can't seem to find themself. I've been there and somehow I have found myself there again. Each day seems to be getting harder knowing that I dont want to feel the way I do. This emotion is just too powerful for me to conquer it. Sometimes I feel like maybe my best times were with him, yet I know they weren't since there weren't any good times. Other times I find myself dwelling on the memories of the past and it hurts because I can't keep my mind off of how it hurt. I don't think he knows how much he meant to me and I guess it doesn't matter, but I just can't seem to shake the thought anymore. I have always been told it's okay to cry, but crying isn't getting a person anywhere knowing that I can't change the past and what has been said. Lately I have found myself struggling through this feeling I have. I don't want this feeling. I've had it before except this time it's stronger and I don't want it. It has hurt me too many times and I don't want to have to bare that hurt any longer. Not now. Maybe that sounds immature, but I'm not. I'm just scared. The fact is the one I used to love will never see this and the one I find myself falling for will never know the truth. We'll both be better off without him knowing. This pain is just unbarable and I know that it will get better someday, but I'm not living in the future I'm living today and today is all that matters. I tell myself it will be okay , but all I'm doing is lying to myself because it's not okay. I know how I feel and to know I can never tell him makes me feel like a liar, but it's better this way because he belongs with her. It's the way it should be and I'm not going to get in the way.

hey. i have been in ruts in my life before too. they really suck, but you gotta pull through. especially when it is Love that is pulling you down. you have to keep yourself busy all the time, at least i did, to keep your mind off of them, even if it is just a lie to yourself, at least a lie to yourself keeps you sane until you can get back onto your feet. everybody says life is tough, but ya know i've come to realize in my years that Love is tougher. i Love the raw emotion in your writing and the way you portray confusion. Hang in there =) ~Jason
