I went through something like this in the late 1980s.

The guy moved from Moscow to Seattle. It was still the Iron Curtain / Cold War time and yes, I believed, at that time (we were both teens) that I would NEVER see him again. So yes, EVER / NEVER are difficult concepts to grasp. Very difficult.

It was outright horrible.

I did get to see him again after a few years and had a long distance relationship with a couple of get-togethers, but eventually we grew apart.

But in your case, it is 2013 and you are in England and the guy is moving to Australia.

- Not across the Iron Curtain
- Not to another galaxy
- Simply, to Australia.

So where does the tragedy part come from?
