will i ever get over my first love?

Question

i had my first love when i was 17. we were together for about 2 yrs. i'm happily with someone right now for about a yr and we have a baby together. I really love my bf with all my heart, no doubt about that but sometimes i think about and miss my ex. we broke up because i just felt like i didn't love him enough and because my family disaproved of him. we keep in touch once in a while because we stayed friends and when we talk we just seem to go back to "good old times". i get kinda sad when i don't hear from him in a while and i dont know if this is normal because he is my first love or if i still love him.

Listen close hunnie. Friendship, relationships, friends, lovers, sister, brother, mom, dad, just all nice specific terms we come up with to descibe a phonema that humans share.... BOND!!! Thats right no matter what your always going to remember your bond with someone, doesn't mater the relatioship, sworn enemies or the bestest of friends, you don't forget them. So it is love you feel! Because love is FEELING!!! Don't worry thou in the great scheme of things its only if you confuse yourself well this be a problem. Understand that you well always love people and you well always love him, you share history that YOU CAN NEVER HAVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, NEVER!!! O it can be close but it well be unique and indivdual to that situation. Its becasue of this that it well always be special and always be a part of you. I call it scars, scars never heal, and there always there to remind you how you got them. Its on you weather there a burden, or a badge of courage and growth. But COMPLETELY natural. Good job staying friends and respecting the bond! And good luck on the new family! Don't let this confuse you there are reasons why your with the other right? It wasn't just convince? Becasue thats the bad thing about bonds/relationships, when they fail we have to find something... stronger? more intense? or else well always what to go back. If thats not the case, be happy you requinize your heart this much, because what you feel in your life well be so much more intense then those that don't. I know from experience.... life was met to be intense! ENJOY!!!
