How?

How do we get over it? For some it can mean different things, like how do you get over the death of a family member or the betrayal of a loved one.
For me and several others, it is a broken heart. It hits you like a battering ram and takes sometime to get over, if it ever does. For me it was just the other night.
Three years and just like that we were over. I spent the entire night crying and barely got any sleep. But how do we get over this. To be honest we think that they will come crawling back or if we apologize they will forgive us...but no. Those will only hurt us even more in the end.
I got to thinking a lot about today and how things are. Im now single and can more or less do almost anything I want and dont have to worry about hurting the loved one.
And while the times may have been good with them, the future and moving forward is more important.
