how do I handle this feeling?

[SarahMini]

Well, to start, I quite honestly feel psycho.
I had a boyfriend when I lived in another state, and I just recently moved. I fell in love with him when I was there, and had to abruptly leave him. I miss him so much, and I feel completely lost. I can't get him out of my mind, nor my heart. I feel like I'm missing a huge piece of myself without him around.
I've talked to him once since I've moved away, and he has wrote me one email. He told me that he'd write me back, and he hasn't, and naturally I'm devastated.
I want to tell him how I feel.. how I feel like I can't live without him, how he is the first and last thing on my mind every day, and how I love him more than anything I've ever known, and am completely miserable not being able to see his face and feel his touch.
The problem is- I don't know how he feels about me, and even if he DID feel the same, would it do any good?
I've thought about moving on, but I can't. I don't want to. I just feel like I shouldn't. Like there's something more that must be accomplished.
I am so set in love, and I don't know how to handle this feeling!

SarahMini, you shouldn't have to feel that you have to handle this feeling you've got, let alone get over it. It will be hard, I know, it is not a very easy thing to get over at all (actually one of the hardest things in life to get over actually, in conjunction with the death of a loved one).

Have you stopped to think that maybe he thought you abandoned him? Certainly your lack of communication with him will not fix anything - you should talk to him and tell him how you feel like you said. In reality though, you may have to get to grips with what has happened, especially if you have moved for good and there's no way of seeing him... as you know, dragging things along will only make things worse for you, and I know there's long distance relationships, but is that what you want?

A lot of people here have shared similar feelings to you Sarah, I hope they come forward and tell their stories to help you know you're not alone.
