There are 5 stages of the end of a friendship 1 Denial You tell yourself that this isn’t happening That everything is fine Your relationship with her is fine That you’re fine Though you know everything is falling apart 2 Anger You’re angry at yourself You blame yourself for all the things you did and didn’t do Then you’re angry at her Angry that she’s letting you go That she’s allowing the gap between you and her to widen Angry that she’s moving on from you 3 Bargaining You reach out often You text every day, maybe more You tell yourself that if you try hard enough Things can be the same between you Like they always had been 4 Depression You start spiraling out of control Into darkness, into loneliness Your world turned upside down Every day seems to get a little heavier You’re lost Your moral compass spinning out of control Unable to point you in the right direction Finally 5 Acceptance You let go the feelings of hurt you once held towards her You realize things were falling apart far before you first noticed You accept that things are different between you and her There’s still a bit of longing For what you wished had been What could’ve been But you’re moving on Towards healing and light Towards new friendships Where this will happen again
