<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

My girlfriend and I had been together for about 10 months and we completely fell in love with each other. However, we graduated high school together in May and broke up in late August because we each moved to different states and knew we didn't want to try long distance. She's my best friend, and we still text every day and we call each other about every 3 days for a good hour. She knows everything about my life and I know hers. But we're having some trouble... We both want to get over each other, but we want to remain best friends (or at least close friends). We decided to just keep talking and that the distance will eventually get in the way and as time passes, we will both slowly get over each other and simply be friends (albeit good ones). This is the slow but "easier" solution to moving on but staying close. We're worried that if we tried the alternative (ending all contact for however long it takes to get over each other, then going back to being friends when we're both ready), we would not even know each other once we start talking again, and we won't be able to get close again. I just want her to stay in my life, and I'm willing to accept that it's harder to get over her this way where we constantly talk, but I'm not sure if this is the right way. Any advice would help a lot. Thanks.
<bot>: My girlfriend and I just broke up last month because we moved across the country from each other, but aren't sure how to remain close friends now and in the long run and still get over each other.
