story

I broke up with my boyfriend 3 months ago, before then we had been together for over 7 years. It is a really  hard time for me and I just can't let it go. I have dates with strangers, but I just can't stop thinking about my ex. I miss his hand when he touches me warmly. I miss the way he looks at me like there is a river in his eyes. I miss him reading me some poem from Neruda “I like for you to be still/ it is as though you are absent...” I miss the time we spent together, we were two weirdos and needed each other. Time changes everything. you grew colder and I grew old. I never thought we would end like this

My favorite couple in the picture.
Have some suggestion to help me to get over it?

Hello Chris,

A sad story but something many people go through, sometimes more than once. You must go forward and stop looking back. Go out with some friends in the evening, do some sport you enjoy or even take evening classes in something you like. But don't go out to look for a new partner, go out to enjoy yourself. If you are doing something you like doing there is more chance you will find someone with similar interests that maybe you can connect with. Whatever you do, don't sit at home because you have no one to go out with - it works the other way!

Your story is fully understandable even though there are a few mistakes. When we are talking about the past from a point in the past, (I call it the past past!) we normally use the past perfect (had + past participle) The other mistakes are really small things like adding the 's' to the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) in the present simple tense

Hope this helps

Bob
