<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

It's been exactly one month since my ex-gf decided she needed to end our relationship. Prior to this we had been in a wonderful relationship for almost 9 months.

We never argued over things, got along great, made many wonderful memories together, and we were even considering moving in together. We had so many great memories, and I know we were both young but I was seriously seeing myself spending the rest of our lives together. 

This all changed when about a month ago she became all of sudden very distant, and when I brought up what was bothering he she said she needed to be single and needed to just focus on finding herself and doing well in school.

I understand this completely and that's the part that's eating me up inside. I miss her like crazy and still love her, and I feel like I've been too passive this entire time by not even really trying to really communicate that. We've mostly stuck to no contact except for a few times to swap stuff, but all I can think about most days is to just send her a text stating how I feel.

I guess I emphasize with her reasoning, but I really wish I didn't, and that I had fought a bit harder to stay together. Should I just leave her alone or finally express how I feel and talk to her?
<bot>: Ex-girlfriend ended our relationship. I feel I've been too understanding and feel I should've fought harder to stay together. Unsure of what to do.
