She's done some things I can't forgive her for, but I don't get why I still miss her. I miss her laugh, her face, her personality, I miss everything about her. I wish she didn't do what she did. I wish we were still together. Now I just sit in my bed thinking about her wondering if she misses me too or is she happy I left her after what she done. Valentines' day made it worse reminding me how lonely I truly am. I don't think I've ever had a happy relationship without some type of toxicity involved. I long to find happiness and true love. I thought she was really the one. I loved her.

It's perfectly normal to miss someone you loved or even still love now, especially if it's an ex partner. Your brain is trying to find the same positive chemical release that it did when you were with her, but it cant, so you're going to feel lonely and upset.
Unfortunately it's becoming increasingly common in this generation for people to experience negative relationship problems such as toxicity, cheating, abuse, etc. It sucks and there's not really much that can be done about it, other than looking out for those familiar negative patterns in the future, and doing your best to avoid people who have them, and avoid them in yourself as well.
You will find love, happiness, and a sense of peace eventually. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or even soon, but it will come. Do your best not to dwell on the past or daydream about what could have been, and remind yourself why things had to end the way they did. It's not your fault, and not worth feeling guilty or upset over forever. Grieve and then when you're ready, move on to something better. Be it another relationship, or working on yourself for a while (which I highly recommend for introspection and self betterment, it'll help your self esteem a lot).
You're stronger than you know, and you can get through this, buddy. Good luck out there, and stay safe.
