How long do you think of them?

You probably have someone in the past you loved a lot, but eventually realized ( for whatever reason) this person wasn't yours to have, and it ended. Normal.

I'm always surprised that years can pass without too much thought about it, you are living a full life with new great stuff in it,and then suddenly you miss them.

How long do you think about the ones you leave behind?

There was a woman who I thought would be "the one", and I was devastated when she broke up with me and soon married someone else.

But that was over 40 years ago. Sure, I remember her from time to time, but the memories stopped tormenting me a long time ago.

@DrWatson Good. I'm glad that memories don't bring you pain, you can just remember her.
