Need advice on relationship issues.. what to do when you don't want the same anymore..?

Ok, I’ve been having issues with my 2 and a half years relationship. I’ve been struggling with this for about a month, and need some opinions. Like I said, i’ve been in a relationship for about 2 years and a half. He is 8 years older than me, he’s a chef and I’m about to get my degree, I’m a lawyer. I was still finishing college when he and I started to date, and i loved the fact that we were so different with different activities and all that.. Since I used to work part time in restaurants when I was still in college, it has always been easier for me to relate to him, and understand what he goes trough everyday. I didn’t really had much of a plan for myself, I just wanted to follow him wherever he would go, like it would be all about him. The thing is that these past 6 months I’ve been doing an internship, and of course it got me more “into it” like, my career and all that stuff.. I feel like I’ve changed a lot lately, and just don’t know if I would just follow him “wherever” , Im pretty much starting to think about myself and my future, I want to explore my possibilities and I just dont’t know .. it feels like our paths are getting separated. The romance is fading, at least on my side, I dont feel crazy about him anymore.. and the whole mix of things it’s driving me nuts. I talked to him about this, told him I was feeling lonely and that we were falling apart.. and he said he loves me and doesnt want to be without me.. what can I do about this?? can I still save this relationship? What happened to me? I know people changes and all that.. I know i did.. help!!!!
