Progression

This entry charts the progression of what for all intents and purposes essentially was a relationship. It begins with the excitement of something new. The phone calls. The text messages. The concerts. The late summer nights. The jokes. The kisses snuck around corners. The photobooths.

Then it moves on to the confusion. The fights. The silence.

The denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression.

Then finally, acceptance of what for all intents and purposes essentially was the inevitable, eventual, drawn-out end.

I was in love.

These are my feelings. In order. From beginning to end. August 2010 to March 2011.
