I am not sure of the context since I don't know your story, but it takes time and no one can really tell you how much time because everyone is different. You just have to slog though life and wait it out. Eventually, the feelings will pass.
I am really sorry you are going though it though, I know how it feels.
Look up stages of grief--a breakup follows pretty much the same stages. It might help. Good luck.

The only thing I can add to this is if you can find someone to talk to or text with a bit throughout the day that helps immensely..just do not let the conversation be totally dominated by your ex and shortly the pain will begin to fade.

I've deleted the original post because the first responder made me realize I was being pathetic and a wussy.
In life, pathetic, wussy people get treated like pathetic, wussy people.

Gotta toughen up. Really.
Having feelings doesn't make you a pathetic or a wussy... it makes you a human being. I would add that if you didn't have feelings, you'd be a sociopath. So please don't be so hard on yourself.
And the other poster brought up a good point about finding someone to talk to.
Dude, I experienced something similar recently. Found myself still pining over a guy that was in no way shape or form good for me... and I am usually the one who gives my friends relationship advice.
Take heart. Sometimes people just imprint themselves in your heart in a deep way. You are not weak for sharing your feelings. It makes you human

Hey man..having feelings doesn't make you a wuss..I'm 6'3" 250lbs and have one punch knocked out more than a few ruffians in my day and I have been knocked to my knees and nearly crawling over a woman before..it ain't got anything to do with how tough you are..that being said,you can't let it beat you down..take your time to wallow in the pain a bit,find someone to talk to (male or female) and before you know it that pain won't be crushing you any more..it'll still be there on and off a bit but it'll be dull and you'll wake up one morning and realize you hadn't even thought about her in a week or two..that's when you are pretty much healed up..I went thru it last summer and if you let it,it will mess your ass up...don't let someone have control of your life,its your's to control,not hers.
