Is it normal not to be able to see one's face in your mind?

I only have this problem with the one whom I see almost everyday and whom I've been loving (a LOT) for about 6 years (he doesn't love me back in that way though) Whenever I try to see his face in my mind, I just can't. As if I can't remember what he looks like, it's never a clear picture, only when I've been seeing him in the last few hours. If you'd ask me "Could you remember the face of that one teacher you had 6 years ago?" That's easy, I can see a clear picture of that person in my mind, although the last time I saw him/her was 6 years ago. Why do I only have this problem with the love of my life? That ought to be easiest, you'd say! Is there anyone else who recognizes this problem?

    Yes, I think when you're in love you simply can't get enough of the other person. No mental approximation of their image could ever come close enough to the real thing, their physical presence. It's happened to me. Maybe that's why when people have a crush they can't stop sneaking glances at the other person, constantly trying to refresh their mind and to fix his/her image in their inner eye.

    That sounds oddly familiar to me for some reason...

    I have the same problem when I like someone. The person I want to see in my mind the most just cannot appear like others do, no matter how hard I try.

      Yep I know, was constantly thinking of that song while writing the story. The Doors and The Who are my favourite bands, nice to meet you. :)
