Just take out the "please remember me" part or any sentiments of guilt and dedicate the song to yourself instead. You are worthy of finding the right person. Like the others have mentioned, you can work on yourself like you are doing.

Working on yourself in retrospect meant enjoying my life for what I really liked. Wrenching on cars all day for example worked out just fine for me without being controlled. Cooking my own meals and actually enjoying what I liked to eat. Having full run of the remote control and watching what I actually wanted to watch, etc.

Like someone said, don't be looking for your ex in someone else though or even to live the same lifestyle you lived before. A complete opposite could even be the best thing that happened to you.

My current wife is from Scotland, we are opposite in EVERY way, but in this case opposites attract. Sure we have had our moments and who doesn't but now we are 2 peas in a pod and I won't let the little stuff or the big stuff break us. Not a chance. My eyes are also twice as opened to life being with someone who is so doggone different.

Be careful on the rebound, take it day by day without worrying about what will become of the relationship. Don't worry about keeping it together if it doesn't feel right because it probably isn't.

These could very well be some of the best years of your life. One day you will smile at the distant memory and have a story to tell others close to you. You will one day realize that it all happened for a reason and as absurd as it may sound, you may be glad that it did.

This has just been my very accurate experience.
