Getting Over you

End of March will my birthday but that is also the day I am gonna lose the guy that for the first time in my life I know the meaning of FALLING IN LOVE.I have never fall in love before until I met him but unfortunately he too will be leaving me soon. Never thought this day will come.At times i feel like relationship is never meant for me. He is leaving for his country soon and this time will be for good.I am trying my best not to feel sad whenever I think about it. But only Allah knows. They said it will take you 10 days for a person to be sad after a relationship ends.
I woke up one morning with the realization that he had left me. In a mental sense, having nothing to do with the reality of the situation. He had been the object to which my thoughts inevitably turn...in class, at work, in bed before I manage to fall asleep and as soon as I wake up in the morning. I would think of his kiss, his touch, the things he said that brought me happiness, the things he said that tore me apart. He was a space, an entity, a force like gravity in my mind and heart, and he never even knew he was there to begin with.
But I woke up one morning, and he had left. Not gradually, the way that he took up residence within me, but all of a sudden. I went to reach for him, and instead of the memory of soft lips, I feel only a dull ache, like that of an old injury on a damp day.
Part of me wants to rebel, fight against this...anything is better than this strange emptiness, even recalling careless words and actions that hurt me more than anything, ever. The memories are still there, if I concentrate I can pull them out, but it's not the same. He is an empty space in a broken heart.
And yet this is a good thing. This is what they mean when they say "This too shall pass." This is getting over you.
