1. Fall for a lover (the gender doesn't really matter)
2. Find a way to make that person your ex
3. Suffer
4. Remember your good days, even it was a platonic
5. A little bit of more suffer
6. Find a relieving factor to forget (avoid drugs, I suggest drinks)
7. Suffer miserably, including headache at this stage.
8.1 Read texts, e-mails or whatever you two sent each other
8.2 Look at the pictures you guys took if you did
8.3 Look at his/her pictures for hours if you have
8.4 Pass by the places you hang around before
9. Feel a pain in your heart and understand that you lost a soulmate, a friend, a good person to share your life and love.
10. Finally find a writing tool and write. The steps may slide but number ten is where you should end up.

11. (Bonus Step) Go get him/her.
