I need help!!!!

So, there's this guy that I'm going to call E.
I've always known of E and we saw each other a few times because we're family friends, but I only really started to know E this time in 2022. I texted him first, and soon it was like we were best friends. We texted every day, facetimed at least once a week, played video games together, and we were inseparable. Soon, I developed feelings for him.
I tried to hide it, tried to continue the way we were, but it became too much. I told him, and I felt better when he said it was okay. He didn't tell me he liked me back, but he didn't tell me he didn't like me back either.
There was a period of where we became more than friends, and we flirted, told each other we were in love with each other, and he even called me Mrs [his surname]. I was head over heels.
We had made a plan to meet up in February of 2023, and when I texted him the week before to confirm the day, he told me he had a girlfriend. I was heartbroken. For weeks, I would stay up crying at night, I had never felt such pain. I've always had little crushes here and there, but I was in love with E.
His girlfriend followed me on social media, and when prompted, told me that they began to date in December 2022, 2 months before he stopped flirting with me. I was horrified. I thought he was mine and I thought I was his. I was wrong.
Two years forward, they're still dating and I can't get over him. I can't go a day without him on my mind and it hurts so much that I'm still in love with him. My brain knows that I can't be with him, but my heart is holding so tightly onto hope, I'm scared it'll never let go.
What do I do?

find someone you can talk to about everything. get it all out in the open and then give yourself time. Its about trying to understand and then forgiveness so you can move forward with your life.
