[ Singles & Dating ] Open Question : How do i let him go (when I want to be with him)?

I have been with a guy for a little over a year, after which i broke it off because I was not feeling any connection between us and i was scared to actually try to have a connection with him...now that i'm not with him anymore i am yearning for him like crazy it wasn't so bad initially, but as time passes by my longing for him increases dangerously! and i think now is the time when i feel like i really love him Tell me, am i crazy to break up with him in the first place and 2). How do i get rid of this very distracting longing i have for him?
