first heartbreak

me and my boyfriend of one year just broke up...for the past month i've been feeling my feelings for him fade and i could tell that there was a disconnect but i kept pushing the thought out of my mind...and i could tell something was wrong with him lately and a couple of hours ago we went to go get ice cream and he sat me down on a bench and told me this past year has been the best year of his life but he didn't love me anymore. he told me that i'm still a beautiful, smart, amazing, kind girl, but it just wasn't like it was at the beginning of the relationship. and i honestly can say the same...i feel like the relationship was just running on empty for the past month. he was my first love, my first kiss, my first time, and my first heartbreak. i expected this sooner or later, but it still kills me that something that made me so happy makes me feel nothing now. any tips on how to get over this?
