Step 1

Be emotionally stable. 

For the most part, because lets be real, I'm a person, not a robot

and ive lived a pretty good life so far

Step 2

find someone who you genuinely enjoy and befriend them

because who doesn't like friends and they seem cool enough 

we like the same movies and books and music so why not?

nights at the movies become long conversations afterwards 

dinners always lead to driving around for hours because neither of us wants to go

Step 3

learn that they are not emotionally stable and promise not to leave

this is a result of step 2 because driving around for hours in the dark always leads to deep talks 

and you open up about so many things that i cannot even comprehend 

but by god i am there for you whenever you need it

Step 4

sacrifice you're entire well being for theirs 

i spend so much time on worrying about you that i don't have time to worry about myself

i give myself to you because your needs are greater than mine and they always will be.

Step 5

become emotionally unstable 

i gave myself wholly to you and you used it up. 

i still hold on to the notion that i can help you because i am alright, 

i am stable i tell myself at night

as i give you everything you need even as i begin to run dry

you're drowning in my love while I'm dying of thirst

Step 6

realize you cannot possibly uphold a relationship like this and stress for approximately 3-4 weeks

I cant do this.

but nether can they.

i cant keep this up.

they're more of a mess, just suck it up.

i need to help myself.

help them, they actually need it.

Where will this relationship be in 5 years?

that doesn't matter they need your help now.

I cannot possibly give them what they need.

Step 7

leave.
