I have been reading through the above entries, thinking I should jump in because, while much of it was excellent advice, there seemed to be to be two important thoughts missing..... and then you just reflected both of them.
I am glad to see that you can still think fondly of your ex even though he broke your heart, because to me it shows that you you have the strength of heart to get over the pain of this relationship without having to discount the relationship and all it meant to you in the process. It is at times tempting merely focuss on the negatives of a person who has broken your heart, but in my mind that does not do you or your memories any justice.
I am also glad to see that you are able to joke some regarding your lost love as, I believe that when sadness and troubles strike, having a sense of humor is a great way to maintain a balanced perspective and to recognize that life does indeed go on.
Regarding your song writing inspirations though.................... I wouldn't give up the day job just yet.
Also.... this thought has been reflected by others, but I do believe strongly that the flipside of every crises is opportunity, and that in time you will find yourself confronted with wonderfull opportunities that may not have presented themselves had you not first gone through this painfull experience.
All the best.
