Is it normal to never forget that special person

Is true love real?
What about the one that got away?

My story:
I'm an adult, >20 years of age. Not a naive child having her first real crush.

I met this guy, he was incredible. We were together for a few weeks, it was the most spiritually fulfilling and enriching time. We couldn't be together though, everybody has their own reasons. Neither of us were happy with this situation but it had to end.

No further contact. Heart broken. Future slipped through my fingers.

INN for me to still think of this man every day, a year later?
I've met other people and am in a good relationship but there is still a yearning in my heart, "what if he was the one" is all that I can think.

Is true love real, have I lost it? Will I think of the one that got away for the rest of my life?

    Reality has a habit of becoming unreal as time progresses. Your memories are exaggerated and unreliable, after all this time apart.
    If you hold this boy up as your ideal companion, you will never find anyone else who will come close. Either forget him or pursue him; there is no sensible middle ground here.

    If you couldn't be together then let it go, you know the reasons we don't.
    Then again sometimes you have to take risks and chances. Maybe he was the one.

    Don't ask a group of people who don't know you at all about your personal life. I guarantee you will regret posting these questions and acting upon the answers provided. Its best to find the answers yourself.

    OP, I am sorry if the things I wrote seemed too harsh. I was being objective and wasn't writing with your feelings in mind.

    I agree with some of the other comments. That is not true love, it more like a big crush. So I'm going to say that your daily fantasies a year on are not normal. Get on with your life. Guys who belong in your life will make an effort to stay in it.
