(20M & 21F) We confessed, she has a boyfriend. We talk, she doesn't like me anymore, I still do.

I've known this girl for a while and I always kept her in the back of my head. We talked really frequently back in late high school but only for a short time. After that, every interaction we've had has been normal and not heart pounding. She's even been in a relationship for almost two years now. But after this confession, I couldn't stop thinking about her. We both knew it was forbidden love and so we tried our best to move on. But it looks like she actually did. After she told me she doesn't like me anymore my heart hurt a lot. My heartstrings were still pulled by her actions and it's hard for me to forget her. How do I get over her? I want to lose all hope and just move on instead of hoping for a chance with her. I can only look from afar and it pains me. What should I do? Or what can I do?

tl;dr she has a bf for 2 years, we confessed. We know its wrong, so we get over each other. she moved on, I didn't, How do i move on
