Give it time and it will pass. I guess for things like this that's all you really have. Breakups are always hard (especially if they're long term), but almost everyone has survived at least one. I'msorry you feel so empty, but try not to forget that you just lost someone that you shared a lot of yourself with. Just don't beat yourself up over it; you've already acknowledged that fact that it was for the best. So go hang out w/ some girlfriends, rents some movies, bust out the popcorn (or sarah lee), and just veg. When time has passed, you'll feel whole again, and meet someone else. At least you didn't go on forever being with the person you weren't meant to be with. That in and of itself should be comforting. I wish the best of luck to you, and rest assure that you will get through this... as hard as it may be at first. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Friendship is like pee in your pants.... everyone can see it.... but only YOU can feel it\'s true warmth...
