Break ups

Me and my boyfriend broke up April 11th. He broke up with me but he didn’t really want to but he felt as if he couldn’t give me what I deserve because of distance and how busy he is (he’s in college and has a job and issues with his family). But he was the first guy who treated me right also he took my virginity, I don’t know how I would get over all this or where I should start (we decided to stay friends and “if you love something you let it go and if it comes back its yours”) what should i do? (I’m 18 he’s 21)
