1. Denial

I refuse to let you go,

refuse to let you leave and forget about all we had

and all we could be

because we are still so incredibly in love, right?

2.  Anger

How could you?!

How could you expect me to stick around

and listen to your sweet "I love you's"

and the saddened "I miss you's"

When YOU are still, choosing to leave

I'm angry with myself for not seeing this coming

angry that i trusted you not to leave

because you said you never would

3. bargaining 

Its okay,

this is nothing but a short period of time

We're inseparable

you're going to come back

Right?

4. Depression

The sadness comes, and is here to stay.

The guilt holds me back from saying anything

holds me back from reaching out

it hits hard.

You're gone, and its all my fault isn't it?

Every waking second of the day,

I wish i had savored ever last moment of the last day we spent together. 

I wish i had savored every kiss, every last touch.

5. acceptance

I'm okay with your absence now 

I understand why you chose to go

But don't forget me

and what we had

and how our beginning love felt

don't forget a second of me

because ill never forget you.
