I'm 6 years later, 3 years happily married, and i still have the occasional dream about my ex girlfriend.

She was my first true love.

I think it's one of those situations where if you truly did love someone, you just might never forget them..

Just keep living your life and moving on.

StudentOfLife agony auntAfter a break-up it's best to take time before getting involve with someone else so that you can think things through. You might still be in love with your ex even if you're in this new relationship, a relationship is not a proof that you love that person.

I still think about my ex and it's been more than a year, she was my first though so that can explain why. They always told me that you'll never forget your first love.

Give it a bit of time, the more you think about it, the more it will be present in your heart. In a way, life is like a camera, what you focus on; you will develop. If you focus on your past relationship, that's what will grow in your heart.

To think things through is to say once and for all "Ok, I wasn't treated the way I deserve to be treated that's why it's over and that's why I'm moving on."

Hope it helps.
