<human>: So longish story short, I've been madly in love with my best friend since our second year of college.  We've spent nearly every day together, have all the same interests and hobbies, traveled to Europe together, spent holidays with each other, and know each other's family members by first name.  He was the first person I ever felt a genuine connection with, and I couldn't help but fall in love with him.  People always asked if we were dating, and for me he was everything I ever wanted in a significant other.

This carried on for over the next two years, and while I brought up my feelings for him multiple times, he said that I'll always be his best friend but nothing more.  Every time he would date someone, we would get in n argument, but his relationships seemed to fizzle out quickly so I was always able to be friends again with the hope that he would one day reconsider.  

Just tonight he told me he was now dating again, and once again I felt that feeling of massive devastation.  He confirmed again that he would never see me as more than just his best friend, and I finally told him I couldn't be his friend anymore as I would always have feelings for him and it wouldn't be fair for him or whoever he's dating if we keep going the way we currently are.  

I know that this will eventually be for the better, but I can't help but feel that I just lost a huge part of my life tonight.  I also feel like an asshole right now since he seemed so visibly upset that I was doing this to him.  Please tell me something that will cheer me up.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Been in love with my best friend and wanted more, but he never did.  Couldn't handle seeing him date another guy, so just cut off all ties.  Saying goodbye sucks.
