Why can't i forget my ex after 2 years?

Author

It’s been 2 years, and I still can’t forget “it.”
Yes, I call that person “it” because I don’t even want to acknowledge anything anymore.
It was an on-and-off relationship, but with it, I was genuinely happy. I was the best version of myself. And then one day, it just left.
After 2 years, I saw it again in a marketplace. A part of me hoped it would recognize me, call out, or at least pause. But it didn’t.
And strangely, I’m glad it didn’t… yet it still hurt.
It hurts seeing someone move on so effortlessly while you remain standing exactly where you were left.
I just want to forget it completely—as if it never existed.
But right now, I honestly don’t know if that will ever happen.
How do you truly move on from someone who feels impossible to forget, even after years?

seeing them again after YEARS and still feeling that ache in your chest is such a horrible kind of pain. i ran into my ex at a gas station once and he acted like we were strangers, meanwhile i went home and cried in my car for an hour. that kind of silence really stays with you

I tell myself "just keep walking" as much as i love him, he walked away. I refuse to walk after him. My heart hopes he comes back, but my head knows he won't. I just have to keep walking....away from him.
