Why am I still feeling this way?

It’s been 1 year since the break up. One full year –time has flew by.

Is it even possible to still feel LOVE? How long does it take to get over it.

I know there is no possibility of me getting back especially if she is moving in with someone else.

I have done all the things the books tell me to do – not speaking to her and not looking at her pictures, pretty much erasing everything that I can out of my life that reminds me of her. But yet I sit in my car on my way home everyday thinking about her. Little things still remind me of her I have come to the point where I know tears or sadness will not help, I just really want to stop thinking about her.

How many one night stands? How many flings and girl friends will it take? How many work-out routines? How many video game hours? How many hours of self reflection?

I keep telling myself that she is happy with someone else and just keep dismissing the idea that I want her back or that I need to talk to her.

I am scared to because I don’t want to complicate her life.

So I will continue to keep moving forward in life and hope that someday someone one day comes along that I can love again. Keep making sure that I improve my lifestyle and find my perfect 10… again

honestly the only person that will know is you. I felt like that with my last ex. I kept myself busy with anything and everything. It took nearly a year or so, but one day it just happened. I still thought about her from time to time but finally realized i missed the thought of being in love with her. when you're ready to move on you will. hope this helps bro.
