Love, or anything that resembles it even remotely, is difficult to give up... because it makes you happy to know you had it, and likely also because you don't realise you might ever talk about it in the past tense till you do. Love (the kind most tv sitcoms and movies will have you believe in) is such a rare thing that most would rarely believe you can find it more than once... so when you find it (however poor the odds) you hold on to it.
When you get to the point where you have to walk away from it though, you find yourself in the most difficult of predicaments... letting go. Giving up on the memories feels like you're letting go of happiness... when more often than not, it is quite the opposite!) which explains why the world over Inboxes are spilling over and old letters keep popping up when you least expect them :)
Most people won't even try to forget...lest they succeed.
The fear of being alone is a potent argument in favour of falling for someone...even when the someone in question is so wrong for you that your brain wants to hit your heart on the head with your shoes! Even when you've been there and done that :)
