How to Get Over Someone

1. Listen to sad songs that make you cry, make a playlist of the songs that break your heart.
2. Cry. A lot.
3. Take all his stuff back to him. All the notes he wrote you, all his jackets, and sentimental items.
4. Write down everything that reminds you of him.
5. That playlist from number 1? Listen to it every day. It will hurt, and you will cry, but listen to it anyways.
6. Every time you go somewhere you will think about him, try to make new memories with new people.
7. Go to museums and realize that other things have history too.
8. Kiss as many people as you need to in order to get the stamp of his lips off your brain
9. That list you made back on number 3? tear it up like its nothing
10. Time is really what it comes down to.
11. Spend time with other people, make sure you don't isolate yourself or become a hermit.
12. Realize that the person you loved is different now.
13. Accept that things are different now.
14. Meet new people.



This list is crap. You don't just "get over" someone. You cry for months on end. Day after day you will see things that remind you of him and it will hurt, you will remember things he used to say and the way he would smile at you when you were having a good day.
You will miss the way he looked at you,
and how he wrapped his arms around you when you were crying.
You will miss the way his fingers sailed in the ocean of your skin.
You will miss the 2:37 AM calls and the way you would stare at the stars together.

I miss car rides with him.
I miss the way he looked at me and how he wrapped his arms around me when I was crying.
I miss the way his fingers sailed in the ocean of my skin.
I miss the 2:37 AM calls and staying up all night on the phone.
I miss him coming over after work smelling like grass and lawn mowers, but he just wanted to talk to me and see me and ask how my day was.
I miss the late nights and early mornings.

I miss the smell of your sweat shirts.
I miss driving up the canyon with you.
I miss going to the gas station with you and getting drinks.
I miss calling you just to tell you to go outside and look up because "the sky looks so beautiful, and I want you to see it"
I miss our hikes and drives up the canyon.
I miss the breakfast runs to Betos.
I miss the five hour talks in your jeep.
I miss spending every day in the summer with you.
I miss you okay?
I miss you and I think thats just how it is when you love someone,
a piece of them stays with you forever,
you never truly let go of what you had.




I wanted to teach you how to get over someone,
but seeing as I'm not too good at it,
maybe you could teach me.
