Great song, but so painful in real life.
I think the first phase after losing someone you've cherished from your life is disbelief. How do you go from being so close, to not speaking at all? If you were the one who left, you are probably struggling with wondering if you did the right thing in ending the relationship, if there was something more you could have tried, something you missed. If you were the one left, you may be struggling with insecurity, abandonment, possibly even trying to take on responsibility for the break up and wanting to fix something that can’t be fixed. All this leaves us with guilt and anger and frustration which all seem to end in depression.The array of emotions that follow the break-up of a relationship, platonic or romantic, are so wide spread it leaves you feeling as if you are in the ocean being pummeled by one wave after another and wondering if you'll ever be able to breathe again.
I think any relationship is worth working for, but there does have to be limits. You must never, ever give more of yourself than you have to give. You must never ever sacrifice yourself in the hopes of making a relationship work. Anyone who would ask this of you, truly doesn’t know what it means to be friend.
This is a classic red flag that you’ve found someone
