 Hate him.  Hate yourself.  Feel bad about hating yourself. Think about  what you could have done differently.  Realize that you couldn't have done  anything differently.  Wonder why things didn't work out.  Think about why  you stuck around for so long.  Cry.  Talk to your friends about why things  didn't work out.  Hate yourself for letting him walk all over you.  Realize  that you couldn't stop him from hurting you.  Go out, get drunk, come home,  cry again.  Watch sad movies.  Start to think that you'll be alone forever.  Try to date, even though you don't want to.  Go on a bad blind date that  your co-worker set you up on.  Think that you might stop believing in love.   Stare at other couples on the train and envy their happiness.  Wonder if   they are really happy or just putting on a show.  Wonder how many times he  faked it.  Hate yourself for envying other people.  Listen to Dave Matthews  and Bush.  Remember when all the lyrics of Colorblind applied to your life.  Skip that song every time it comes on in your rotation.  Become cold,  withdrawn, cynical.  Hibernate in your house for a while.  Never leave your  room.  Watch bad reality TV.  Realize this behavior is unhealthy.  Make a  large effort to do different things.  Experience something new.  Feel like  you have healed.  Be proud that you went through the process and came out  alive.  Feel stronger than ever.  Reconnect with old friends.  Apologize for  your absence.  Feel loved.  Feel missed.  Feel accepted.  Feel at home.  Take a holiday, fly away to somewhere new.  Meet someone.  Share a  passionate kiss in the rain.  Start to believe in love again.  Realize you  barely think about the last one.  Enjoy the someone new more and more  everyday.  Drink wine with him at a corner cafe on a Tuesday afternoon.  Laugh about your inside jokes.  Never think about the last one.  Consider  moving to a far away country to be with him. Take the plunge. Fall in love  again. Pack up your things and move to Paris.  Pray that your heart doesn't  get broken.  Know that you found true love.  Smile, for real.
