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?

It depends on if you mean grieve for them, and missing them, or do you mean after healing (although some things never heal completely)? I never forget people who meant a lot to me, even years and decades letter. It just hits you out of the blue. I suppose it’s something triggering an association in your subconscious mind, and it brings the memory of a person into consciousness.

@Carissimi yes, like time has gone by, and you've grown up enough to know not everything you want is yours to have. That's good enough for your brain, until you go somewhere or see something, hear a song, and they are THERE ugh sigh
