Lost Love

Just a thought.
I dont think that I have ever been in love.
But I was wondering when ppl are in love, yet cannot be together,
they cannot think to be with anyone else other than that person.
So is it ever possible for them to move on if the situation is such that they cannot be together?
Or will they meet others in vain and never fully give of themselves because their heart is somewhere else?
That wouldnt be fair to the ppl they do meet.

There is this friend of mine....
A few years ago she was with this guy from overseas.
I thought they were one of the perfect couples.
I really liked it when she talked about her bf then because they were just so equally sweet to each other and got along really well.
Then because of religous reasons and family disagreements,
they both agreed that it would be better to split up.
And let me tell you ..... I was even heart broken!
And this is when the above questions popped into my head.

Soooooo skip to present times....
My friend met another guy. And they are totally in love!
And everything seemed to fit better than before - he is of the same religion and their families get along really well!!!
I kinda wonder if she still thinks of her exlove because I never thought she could get over something that great! But by the sound in her voice when she talks of her now fiance, I doubt she does think of the ex.
I am happy for her.

So I guess life and love does go on just when you think you lost the love of your life.
