Recently single, dumped

So I was in a relationship with who I thought could be the one, we’d been together for a few days short of 9 months. We met up and he told me he didn’t feel the same way he did at the beginning of the relationship and not the same way I feel about him. We met and got to together quite quickly and there was never the friends stage because we both knew we liked each other, it’s been really hard for my to comprehend, I know time and space are meant to help but it’s hurting so much to not be able to speak to him, he was my best friend and someone I talked to about my issues, we made it through me living in halls at uni and only seeing each other briefly and this happens when we have the chance to have a great summer together. I just needed to vent because I don’t know what to do and I don’t want to bring other people close to me down by being really negative but I do still love him
