<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My girlfriend and I had been together for 4 1/2 years, got together young/highschool sweat-heart kind of deal. We lived together for over half of this time and always got along great and had fun together. We loved going hiking and going away together for the weekend and things like that. The past 6 months we were both busy and neglected our relationship and it turned into more of a friendship I guess. I broke up with her 2 months ago because I felt like I was possibly missing out on a lot of things, dating other girls and having more freedom. She was only my second girlfriend and by far my longest relationship.

She didn't take it well and it was really hard to do… we never fight and it was completely out of the blue but I just panicked when I thought about the next few years and committing really long-term to her.

We've barely talked over the past 2 months at my request but I'm starting to genuinely regret my decision. Not just because I miss her, I don't think, but because I've had the time to get some perspective and I can see that whatever issues we had are common and can be dealt with together. Whenever we do talk the spark is still there and I feel like I'm still in love with her and like I've made a huge mistake. I miss her everyday and nothing is able to raise my spirits, she has tried to cheer me up but it only makes it harder because she's being so great about it and I feel so guilty for hurting someone who's only ever loved me fully.

Are there any couples out there who have gotten back together after leaving a long-term relationship? She has said that she wants to get back together and can forgive me and we can work past it but I'm scared she'll never see me the same way again.
<bot>: Together for 4 1/2 years, broke up two months ago, still love her and want to work on things - has this happened to you and how did it go?
