Is it normal i know i will always be in love with my first love

I fell in love with a girl i was hooking up with for 5 months. we agreed in advance not to get serious and she ended it at the end of the school year- i wanted to continue things. she is kind, compassionate, intellegent, thoughtful, and loves life and the world around her as much as anyone ive ever met. its almost a year and i dont love her any less, not even a little. she has had a more profound affect on me and the person i want to become than anyone else ive ever met. even when i feel happy, or when i try to be as objective and sensible as possible about my feelings, i truly believe i will love her forever and that theres not much i can do about it- not just in the "she will always have a piece of my heart" type of thng- but really be totally in love with her, even when im an old man (im 21 now). I want to be over her, and i genuinely try to approach other girls with an open mind- but i still have made no ground in getting rid of any of my feelings for her, and i cant envision ever gettng to a point where im over her. is it normal to feel this way, and could i be right? please comment if uve gone through this

    If you don't always see her, then at one point or another, you will start to forget things about her until she really does only have "a piece of your heart".

    love is such a powerful affliction. sometimes i relate it to some sort of nasty psychological diagnosis. but you must realise something, love is tangable, although filled with passion there is nothing magical about it.

    it's nothing but a force of nature which causes some of our species to be monogomous. i have been in love many times over my period of lifetime and i often think back on my past loves.

    i guess i'm not really over them all either. some of those women were truely wonderful and i constantly wonder to myself what could of would of happened.

    but the truth remains. it's just a feeling. i have to be strong and forget about the people who abandoned me. i have nothing to prove to them and only to myself.

    Love; the conquorer of hearts. set it's sights on us. but i promise you this fight hurts worse if you surrender.

    I was with my first love for two and a half years. It's been years since I've seen her and I still think about her everyday. I think this is totally normal.
