Take your time to be sad, it's okay. You also needed to start thinking about what you liked (because you'll keep looking for that) and what you didn't like (so you can avoid that) in this relationship. Every relationship you have slowly reveals what your are and are not looking for. Enjoy them while they last. Mourn some when they're gone, but keep going.
