Letting go of ex

I am finally realizing that it’s time for me to let my ex completely go for good. He’s my high school sweetheart and I love him very much but I just can’t do it anymore. We recently reconnected a few days ago after months of no communication w/ each other (broke up in January) and I realized that maybe we aren’t meant to be with each other, at least not right now. The feelings I have for him are still there but I have a lot of things going on in my life and he’s also super busy in the army (he’s currently deployed) so I don’t think a relationship is good for us right now so I’m going to let him go and move on. If we are meant to be with each other, then I know we will come back at the right time. But if not, then it’s just that we are not the right people for each other. It hurts to have to completely cut him out of my life but I know it’s for the best.
