Could I ever get by

Well for the past long amount of time I've been dealing with something personal inside of me. Someone to e exact. Trying to get over an old relationship. I though I had gotten over it because I had a girlfriend and had honestly put that person out of my life, but when that girl and I broke up that person resurfaced and I'd realized I had not faced the problem. I have prayed and prayed that I would be able to have the strength to see this person all the time and just be okay. Ive prayed that God would just make it okay, but nothing has happened. I've come to this conclusion, because this has been heavy on my heart. The only way to get away is to literally get away. Not sit around and pray that God would make things better, but to listen to God when He tells me to put legit physical distance in between me and this person. This means I will have to leave stay away from a lot of things which sucks, but if I stay involved in all these things I think are good ill never move past this and I wont have an empire. It's time to branch out as scary as that may be.
