I had to say goodbye to the love of my life

Last night I had to say goodbye to the love of my life. He’s from Germany and came here this year for school. We fell hard and I’ve never connected so quickly and strongly with anyone. He is my everything and my heart is broken. He has to leave on Monday and last night was the last time we could see each other. We had to finally have the talk we’ve been pushing off for a long time. He told me he doesn’t want to try to make it work long distance because he want me to have better than that. We’re still going to talk all the time and be best friends but it’s already so different. I can’t lose him. I know we were meant for each other and it kills me to give up. I love him so much. I want to be with him so bad. Does anyone have any long distance stories that have worked? I really need some hope. I keep telling myself that if it’s meant to be, we’ll figure it out and it will happen but it’s hard to completely believe that right now. I can’t sleep or eat or get out of bed. Everything hurts and I don’t know how to do this without him. Please help me.
