Million miles away.

I fell in love with my best friend after 4 years of friendship. And we dated for a year. We loved each other so much. He said I was the one.
But... (there's always "a but") He left. He moved to UK to study and live. He's not coming back. He keeps saying that some day he'll come back for me and take me with him. Now that sounds nice... But, we are million miles away. He comes here ones a year and I can't handle that.
I tried to be alone, and chat with him every day- And I suffered like hell!
I tried not talking to him, tried to move on, I even have a new boyfriend... I mean I like the new guy a lot... But, he is not "The One".

"The one" got away

"The one" is the reason I cry myself to sleep every night. The reason every single day, a part of me is missing. And I have no idea what to do. Nothing I tried worked. long distance relationship is not working. Getting over him is not working. Laughing with the new guy works only at the moment. I'm sad and lonely after dark.

I can't live with or without him.
It hurts so much.
Please help me with some good advise.

My friends keep saying it will heal in time... But, it's been 8 months without him and it hurts like the first day.
I cry every time I think of him.
I'm hopeless...
