I just "realized" I am heartbroken.

I was there lying on my yoga mat, cooling down after my work out. Listening to my MP3 player with the song "Realize" by Colby Caillat. Then it just hit me - I feel lonely, sad.. heartbroken. I just broke up with my boyfriend about a week ago. It was a "comfortable" 2 years and 7 months of relationship. Honestly that was the first time since the break-up that I felt sad.

Our relationship is not the usual. We are both serious people, goal oriented and focused. We prioritize our goals first before our partner, thinking that the other will always understand. We text just about 5 times a day at the most; "meet" once a week at the most.

I described our relationship as "comfortable" because I know that it made us both feel secure. The fact that we have a "relationship" made us both say to our selves that "okay I have that one accomplished, what's next on my to do list?".

In my opinion, we had a good love. We do fight, but I can say that we have solved them all in the most mature way I can think of, and that I wouldn't change anything. We loved each other, we know that, but there's just a deep drive inside of us that wouldn't let us sacrifice our "selfish" goals for the sake of the other. The last thing we want is to be a hindrance to each other's growth. 

I guess we were once enclosed in the same seed of love, but we are now growing branches, that sadly just need to grow out in different directions.
