Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.
Sadly there's no right way to feel or behave. Take each day at a time.
How about every time you want to say something to her, you write it down, and each few days you edit that down into an email?
It migt sound soft and new age, but if you keep a diary of how you feel, you'll probably realise that you don't need to contact her as much as you thought.
Leave her be as much as you can - if you realy will be friends in future then start behaving a bit more like it now, and don't be a stalker.
Also - when she's in town - give careful thought (befreo it happens) towhether or not you are prepared to be "the other man" at the end of her NEW long range relationship.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
