Their is an interesting quote from Jim Carrey in his interview...
"...is that everybody has someone they'd rather erase: "Gosh, if I could just suck that out of my brain and my heart and never deal with it again, it'd be fantastic." Everybody identifies with that, has some relationship that hurts so bad that they just wish they could make the ghosts go away. You can't, of course."
I thought about this for a bit. I was like i guess I would want to get rid of all the thoughts i have of Laura (my ex). Get rid of the memories and feelings that haunt me. Just be able to move past it all without having the little things remind you of that person, what happened, and what was lost. Then i realized you can't just forget it wouldn't even be good if you could. It is part of what makes you who you are. forever there are many things i learn in that relationship that i will carry into my future. I am sure the same is for her. If we could just suck out memories because of the pain it causes in the future we would never grow. We could never change. So while i miss many things and have been upset time and time again by painful memories of a beautiful past. I wouldn't give it up for anything. I couldn't why would i want to get ride of some of the best memories of my life. Of some of the biggest growth in my life. Perhaps the memories or ghosts he speaks of still haunt people because their is still something they have to learn from thier past. So I will never forget, but here's to hoping that one day I will successfully move on.

I am having problems posting to my blog right now but my post was very similar to this. I totally understand what you mean.
Eventually it has to stop mattering though.

You are not being very reassuring there. Do you ever wonder if the other person has the same issues?

The other day when we went to wahoo's ad i told you that i had recently becme obsessed with a song here are the lyrics. It is by the plai white t's
I see your face in the frame on my desk
It meant a lot, now it means a lot less
It's just a place for the dust in my room to rest
I see the letters that were written for me
They said you cared and I totally believed
They didnt mention that 5 months later you'd leave
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
To make me understand
Cuz I dont understand
I see the bracelet you gave me back then
Made it for me so I'd never forget
It must of worked cuz I havent forgotten you yet
I see the bed where we used to mess around
we'd talk for hours before you'd go down
That was before you decided not to keep me around
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
To make me understand
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
To make me understand
Cuz I dont understand
You could've told me why you had to go
I tried to tell myself just let it go
I see your face
It's everywhere I go
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
To make me understand
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
You could've told me anything
To make me understand
Cuz I dont understand
Cuz I dont understand
No I dont understand
