I still love her and it's nearly 3 years now

Okay, well, When I was 16.. I met a girl, fell in love and it was that intense, naive all or nothing love, like in the movie's... you know the one, you do everything people tell you not to do, spend little time with your friends, abandon your studies and revolve your world around them.

It lasted for two years and the pressures of moving in together too young, short of money and other outlets...Plus I took her for granted, somewhere along the line... I lost her and it killed me, still does.

Okay so I moved my life forward a lot, academically I'm studying for a degree in law, I have a girlfriend who I know loves me... But the sad sad truth is I'd drop everything just to have my first love in my arms just one more time, I feel guilty for saying it, because I do care a lot about my present GF and it's not fair to feel this way.

It could never happen, My Ex has moved on in a way I just don't think I can do...

Is this normal?

    it is true that first love never dies but reality wise, heres what you gotta do:

    set her free

    set yourself free

    love the one your with *a book..hehe..*

    be happy..

    you deserve it and so is your girlfriend..

    you know what is right..

    its just about ACCEPTANCE..

    be proud that you've continued your life without her..

    ---based from own experience..

    :)

    exactly...just like rayst...u love the memory and that feeling about her.....even if u get her back, u will realise that its not the same as before, the relationship cannot be the same again... then u will again feel trapped in the situation and would like to come out of it...so why go can of worms....enjoy ur life and remember her a sweet memory....u will def find ur perfect girl someday

    Done that as well. In fact, re-pursued 'the one' after I broke it off with a girlfriend (for entirely unrelated reasons) and realized it just wasn't the same and it never will be. Pick yourself up and move on is my advice to you.

    been there done that. To be honest I occasionally think about her but now she became just a dear memory.
