The stages of falling for someone

THE CONTACT

You see them. Some call it love at first sight but I just find you cute. No matter how much you deny it, looks matters. Your first impression of someone depends on their looks. You're either attracted to them or you don't. 

THE KNOWING

And if you're lucky enough, if you're pretty enough, they see you too. They might not wants you yet but it's just you. They want to get to know you. Are you as pretty on the inside as you are on the outside? 

THE TALKING

Here lies all the giggles, all the laughters, all the tears you share together. They might listen they might not. It's not too late to walk away. Staying might not be like a bad idea for now and so you did. You stayed. 

You start to see the sides of them. The good and the bad. The sides you sometimes hate, the sides you're trying to accept and the sides you can't help but to relate to. 

THE FALLING

The stage where it hurts if something goes wrong. You feel sad and happy at the same time. On good days, you think it turned out it wasn't a bad idea at all to get to know them. On bad days, you want to unmeet them. 

Anxiety is your wingman at this point. You start to hate yourself. Everything starts to remind you of them. Sometimes it makes you giggle, sometimes it makes you mad but most times they were good things and you love it and you kinda start loving them more. 

THE ENDING

If, and only if, you're lucky enough, they might fall for you too and most probably went though the same stages you did. 

But if you're not, you either bury deep in you or stop being denial about it.
