If you want to move on and move forward, then stop living in the past and start thinking of the present.

Time could be your friend, and no matter what pain you're in now, time will help you heal.
Grieve and let the tears flow, day by day learn to accept the fact that your ex is not coming back. Tell yourself that maybe it's for the best, it wasn't meant to be and it doesn't mean you're a failure in love and life. It doesn't make you weak; in fact you might even discover how strong you really
