anna...hi.

its been a year since i stood on your doorstep.

crying into your mom's arms wondering why you left.

in this past year, i've went through every stage of acceptance.

shock. i couldn't believe that you would leave like that.

denial. i thought this was a prank. a joke.

anger. i almost broke my hand from punching the wall in my bathroom too hard.

bargaining. i begged all the friends you had for some answers. they didn't have any.

depression. it hit me like  a ton of bricks that you were never coming back.

testing. i tried going on dates. they didn't work out.

and now i've finally accepted the fact that it was never love.

you only said it was.
