There are already some really great replies, so I don't need to repeat what they already said. I do love the quote "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." That's wonderful!
Do remember that you're not the only person out there who has had their world shattered by the betrayal of someone close. I'm not saying that to make it sound like your hurt is any less significant. I'm saying it because it means there really are people who truly can understand what you're going through.
It's normal to try to figure out what went wrong or why the person left, but sometimes there really is no obvious answer. It's true that sometimes people just grow apart. You weren't holding her back. She just diverged onto a different path in life, slowly moving away from you. It may have had nothing to do with what you said or did.
Don't apologize for your first post. Right now it's a good thing you vent your feelings a bit. That's the beauty of this message board. You're among friends.
Hope you feel better. Given enough time, I feel confident that you will work through the hurt and be happy again.
