Breakup and getting back together advice please?

My girlfriend of 10 months just broke up with me yesterday. She was my first girlfriend even though I'm 20 now, but I absolutely knew I loved her... and not just loved her, but I knew even without being in other relationships that she was THE ONE. I really only saw myself living with her for the rest of my life, and even though I may have wanted some time to hook up with a few more girls or be on my own for a while, I can't handle the idea of us being apart. I have nobody to talk to the way I did with her, Nobody feels like her. It was like everything I did was only to kill time until I saw her again. And now that she's gone, I have no desire to do anything, I only think about her and getting back together with her, and I cant even sleep to numb everything for a few hours because I'm stuck thinking and writhing about it.

We didn't end badly at all, she still really loves me and knows I do for her. But I was in a terrible emotional place when we first met, and it must have resonated through our relationship. In the end, she realized that she hadn't been happy for a long time because she felt like I could not be consoled ever and she decided that at least the way we had been, she could not stay in that relationship. But I really think that I am infinitely better than I was, and if we were together even now it would work. She really does love me, and she regards me as her first real relationship, and that I was a truly special person to her... plus we'll be friends after a few weeks of tourturous silence.

What should I do? I should probably try to live my life and take advantage of the time I have as single now, but I really don't want to or feel like it. All I can think about is waiting a few months, and maybe (I hope not) a year until we feel alright to get back together. Does anyone have any experience getting back together with a girlfriend? Does it work in your or my circumstance? Literally all I want in life is her, I've never had many real aspirations, but I know that the only thing that makes me feel whole and complete and happy is her.

PS sorry this is so long...
