Ugh..so , we stopped talking...kind of drifted apart, I guess. But I got so used to staying in touch with him 24/7 that I'm lost...

Oh yes....ive been there. We talked 24/7 for about 3 months then he told me he couldnt be my friend any more. We made contact again a few months later....but contact was sparse. He again told me we couldnt be friends and i didnt hear from him for many months....but same again...after months we shared the odd email. There came a point again he stopped writing....but reconnected yet again.
I thought we were cool now....we seemed to put all the drama behind us...but its over 2 months since ive heard from him again.....so...i dunno if i'll hear from him again at this point.

Find a new habit.

It comes back to haunt me, we were so close. Then life moved me away from my home to a far away place and the connection dwindled. Maybe it was due to we never had established a friendship based on anything other than being together, no messages, emails etc. Just him, his wife and i. Its missed!!
