It's a shame you two can't have an amicable, platonic relationship if nothing else. I admit, when my g/f of 6 months broke up with me, i couldn't stop thinking about her. I still do think about her because this happened nearly a week ago, but not as much and now after that time, i feel more rational and confident. I don't really feel like risking getting rejected, rite now but in a little bit more time i will be. What really helped me is talking with true friends, they really put my situation in to the life perspective, the big picture. Although this may hurt before heal, one must think of the violent oppresion which trumps our own sadness. We must look to the murders of the innocent and focus our energy and prayers, if be it to those that need help more then ourselves. Through this act, we shall heal, though at first like a bandade, the feelings shall rush forth, after time, the feelings are felt no more. I wish you luck and a swift journey on the persuit of happiness. It exists without the need for a man, focus on you rite now.
