My (24M) gf (22F) of 3 months broke up with me but she still wants to be friends.

Breakups

My girlfriend broke up with me a week ago. It was my first relationship. The reason for breaking up with me was that she was moving away pretty soon to pursue her dream and she didn't want a long distance relationship. I don't want her to stay for me because it would hurt me even more if it prevented her from doing something she always wanted to do. I understand her reasoning but it still hurts like hell. However, she still wants to be friends.

Before we started dating we were really good friends (almost best friends) for 6 months. We'd talk everyday and I always wanted to ask her out but I was worried she wouldn't feel the same way and it would ruin our friendship. She asked me out and I was never happier but unfortunately it ended but I developed deep feelings for her in that shirt tome. She says she wants to talk regularly but I don't know if my sanity can take it. I feel like pouring my heart out to her every time we talk but I don't want to come across as a sad sack even if that's the reality. I'm pretty conflicted by this as I want to keep talking to her but i feel like I'm only going to keep hurting myself if I do because my feelings for her haven't gone away. I feel like once you cross that bridge, there is no going back. I'm also still struggling to find ways to get over her. Anyone have any advice.

TL;DR; : My girlfriend of 3m broke up with me but still wants to be friends and I'm not sure if I can handle that type of relationship
