I broke up with my girlfriend. Why do I feel so awful?

A little background info:

We're juniors in high school. (Don't take this the wrong way and look at us as immature people, because we're definitely on the mature side of the spectrum). We dated for six months. We texted every day from good morning to good night. Hung out once or twice a week, plus weekends. We got along great with each others friends, and never fought once. She was really amazing for me. But about 3 weeks ago I started to lose feelings for her, and I couldn't understand why. I just felt not as interested in talking to her and what not, and it was really affecting me. But she never did anything wrong at all, so I knew if we broke up, I didn't wanna hurt her, if anything.

She would always tell me how much she liked me and how much of a positive difference I had on her school year, how she's never been happier with someone, never thought she would date in high school but I proved her wrong, all that. And i could tell that she was absolutely genuine about it. So knowing how much she liked me, it was difficult to bring myself to end things, but she noticed something was wrong, and we ended up talking about it because I knew that the truth was better than leading her on in a relationship where I didn't like her as much as she liked me.

We met in person and talked it over and ended it. She stayed pretty composed, but I felt awful because I could sense how much she was hurting.

I've been really upset and confused since it happened, I know I hurt her a lot, and it tears me up inside to see that because she's such an amazing person. So now i've been hit with all these emotions, I'm not sure whether I regret it, want her back, miss her, think it was the right choice; its all a huge mess. But I've felt horrible and I don't know if it's simply because I feel bad for her, or if I made a mistake.

Please help, anyone.

    If you didn't feel like the relationship was going anywhere, it was right to end it. Trust your instincts, going off what you have said it seems to me it was the right idea to break up. It will suck for I little while, and a lot of people get really depressed right after a breakup-just remember that it will pass and that even though you loved her and she is an amazing person it was just not meant to be. Sometimes that happens, and even though it sucks a lot at the time, you have to know that it just wasn't meant to be. I hope everything works out for you, try talking (face to face) with someone about your feelings, it can help! Good luck.

    Here are some tips I used to get my girl back. Be honest with her and let her know how you feel. If she has feelings for you she will understand...Just be positive.. tell the truth. and tell her.. you want to be with her. Stay strong, and most importantly, dont force yourself to get over her. That'll only make you want her back more.
