It's just that I'm in a long distance relationship and I'm afraid it won't last...
Long distance ones are tough...but look at it this way: if it doesn't last, better to know now before making an even bigger committment later and learning then it wasn't going to work.
Sounds easy and flip, I know, but the older you get the more practical you get and take if from this old dog; time heals these types of wounds. I've been around along enough to see a few of mine own mended.

He's right. I just realized I can listen to Al Green again, and a lot of other stuff I haven't been able to for almost 8 years.

I understand your fear. Every love I have had has been taken from me somehow. You probably just need to concentrate on what you have today. Enjoy it now. No one is guaranteed anything but right now.
I've heard the pain of breaking up described in this way: when you fall in love with someone (or even into infatuation), your brain releases endorphins. When the person is pulled away from you for whatever reason, you experience withdrawal symptoms like you do when you stop taking a habit forming medication. It is suggested that this is why you feel such pain and emptiness upon absence or breakup/divorce. The things that tend to work for coming off a med or subtance will also work for a breakup. And of course, as it's been pointed out, good friends and family can help you so much. Their love and support will keep you focusing on the fact that you are valuable and loveable, two very important things to remember during a break up.
