There is a woman whom I've know for 8 years. We ended up dating shortly after I ended a 5 year relationship. Unfortunately, the emotions from my long term relationship caught up to me and I broke things off after about a month. I told her I needed some time to get my head on straight. She was heart broken but she understood. After a few months apart, we connected again and had an amazing weekend together. I told her I felt ready for a relationship now and I wanted to be with her. However, she told me that she wasn't ready for commitment. She also said she might be leaving the country in a few months and didn't want to hurt me.
Given the circumstances, I didn't know what to do so we decided to just see where things take us and remain friends. After a few weeks, I told her that the timeline didn't matter and I told her how much I loved her. Unexpectedly, in return, she told me that she had met someone recently and had fallen for him. She then told me that I should pursue other people. It was heartbreaking and very unexpected. She left me with a song and she told me to listen to the lyrics. So I did. My take away was this. I believe she is telling me that we both need to experience life and if our love is strong, we will come back for one another.
