How do you get over love?

When you fall madly, deeply, truly in love. Where all you want to do is be around that person, to please that person, to smell that person, to touch that person, to have that person. He's in your thoughts all the time, you imagine how things would be, you imagine a life.

Everybody tells you it's wrong, that it's not for you, you need more, should be more.

So, in your own mind you think the same, you really do think it and believe it, because looking at it all it's true you do deserve more, you want more for yourself.

So it ends, this crazy roller-coaster finishes all the love, all the feelings, all ends for you. For you to become more.

But it's so sudden. Going from having everything from that person, to absolutely nothing.

You find ways to comfort yourself. You go out, drink a lot until you can't remember getting home or who you went home with. You find something else to occupy yourself, through yourself into work, into your future, or even into somebody else. Somebody else you think is everything. Makes you take your mind off of everything else that's going on. You believe you're happy and things are going the right way.

They are, but not as they intend. Life is like a flower, it grows but never straight, it grows whichever way it feels right for it at that time. You come to realize that not everything is as it seems, you're own mind makes things up, to cover up, to make things seem better, to heal the bad and hurts. Then things come out and you realize what your mind has been doing, saving you from falling and then nothing is quite as bad. Yeah, it hurts at first to realize that the perfection after the perfection, that the arms that have held you aren't really there to hold you.

You actually come to realize those arms that were there “holding” you, were actually supporting you. Helping you move forward, holding you until you are ready to hold yourself.

This is how you get over love, you find support, you find love in other forms, you find yourself and yourself takes you to where you are meant to be.
