Awww Laura, I'm SOOOOO sorry to hear this.  {{{HuGz}}} to you hon, hang in there!
Even though it's not much comfort to you, believe me, I know exactly how you feel... I broke up with my now ex just before Christmas 2000 after being together for 7,5 years...and, well, I have only recently started to feel like being ready for a new relationship. Well, would be ready in case I'd ever bump into a nice guy again...  Anyway, even though I have gradually got over the break-up, there's still lots of music -- not Bon Jovi music tho, thank goodness, but some Finnish stuff like Yö, Eput, Pelle Miljoona, Juliet Jonesin Sydän and Miljoonasade -- that I can't listen to without getting a bit teary-eyed and feeling this bittersweet sadness in my heart.
When you've shared your life with someone for so long, when you've built your life around a relationship and your common past as well as a common future, letting go of all that is the hardest thing you've ever had to do. No matter how much of a mutual decision it might have been. I guess the following lyrics summed up my feelings back then quite well...
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing I know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go
Hang in there Laura, we're here for you. I know it makes you sad now... But one day you'll wake up in the morning and notice that it doesn't hurt so much anymore.
