- This info is based on personal experience. Several times over.
- From all the times that I've left, or been left by someone, I've noticed
- that one never forgets the person left behind. Period. Over time the
- feelings fade a little, but you never forget it. What might be a problem
- for you is her comment on wanting to still be friends. Is it possible
- that part of you is thinking that maybe, just maybe that means you guys
- might get back together again? The mind does funny things with
- information like that. Maybe part of you is getting signals that are
- confused or opposite what she has said.
- In any case, the only advice that I have is to, each time
- something happens that reminds you of things you did with her, try to
- think of it as something that can happen again with another person that
- you will, or do enjoy. Turn it towards the happy end of the memory, and
- then place your mind back onto the track it was on before, say work or
- such, or find something to put your mind onto.
