Broke up with my boyfriend but still, I can't forget him…

I broke up with my boyfriend. It has been 5 months. But still, I can’t forget him. I loved him a lot. But we were not right for each other. We had a lot of differences, especially in the career domain. We have different dreams. Together we can’t achieve it. So for our good future, we broke up. But I can’t stop myself from thinking about him. It has affected me a lot. I am unable to concentrate on my studies and my internship work. I feel lost and afraid all the time. I don’t know how to overcome this situation...

If you really did love him you would never have broken up with him. You would have changed your future plans to be with him. You can overcome this situation by telling him you made a mistake and asking him to take you back.

Let the time pass. It will heal everything. I know it’s hard but trust me it gets better. You got this!

How long can I keep holding onto the memories when you have chosen to leave and never come back?

Sometimes I can still smell you on my skin. I miss you so much, your tender smile and soft nature. You gave me so much, yet took so much away. You were a storm, you passed through my life and I had to pick it all up again. Yet, I loved you. I loved your sweet laugh, your awkward jokes, your deep moments. I hold onto you sometimes and the tears come flooding to the surface because you are gone.

How could love cause such a flood of emotions like that?

Like an ocean wave tsunami that hits you up and down. I wish we could have calmer seas. But you are gone. We always said it didn’t feel normal, didn’t feel right when we were apart. I still get glimpses of that feeling even after so many years have passed. I still remember when we couldn’t let each other go, each moment of laughter filled with so much life and so much light, each “I Love You” shared so tenderly with one another. I hold onto love so hard because it is the most beautiful storm to have ever caused me to drown.
