" the heart that truly loves never forgets. "
-- proverb
so doesn't that make you question when people have break ups or fall outs, if they truly love that person or not? the ones who try and succeed in forgetting people, it's safe to say they weren't in, let alone aware, of true love. and maybe there really is no true love. it could be healthy obsessions, lapses in judgement, platonic intensity...who ever really knows? love in itself is extremely subjective, even situational, that it's not very fair for people to generalize it.
I'm just saying, if you try to forget someone you claim to have loved, did you truly love them then? wouldn't you try and keep them apart of you as much as possible? isn't something as abstract, yet apparent something you would try to cherish? but maybe that's a sign..or a defense mechanism..but maybe it's a sign that people don't know what they truly want. or that they're afraid to face their true desires. it could be that you never truly forget, which explains the bitterness you feel when your mind leers over those particular memories.
just think of things this way: the choices you make define who you are and will become. if you choose to love someone, care about someone, be with someone..eventually you slowly define yourself. try to cherish the best of what you've had, because in essence it's the best of you. and nobody is made up of the best or always, only experiences the best. but that comes with being human.
