Silly me...never did Forget the Person....and the Feeling?.....well...I Feel it still....
As usual, your question made me dig a little deeper.....if the Person is associated with a Feeling....they are usually Unforgettable to me....actually it was the Person who was bland and created no Feeling in me that I have Forgotten.....never to be preserved in my memory......
PS.....If there is a memory that hurts too much to remember....for a time you just need to fill your mind with other things until you memory holds less pain......

No. It won't stop, ever. Through two people, all memories remain. I want it to cease, give way to peace. Sometimes i wonder if I'm just insane. Maybe the center of focus has been all wrong, all along. Possibly. What if...what if i were to force a pause, to delay the continuance of the presumably inevitable, what then? The stars need not align tonight. Let them rest. Let the slow coaxing of the darkness of solitude encompass my heart. Let the heat bleed out to restrain the uneasiness. Did i forget the person? No. Even if i were to have the memory stricken from the chiseled records of my mind and soul, the images would be rekindled by my heart, on which have been permanently impressioned the thoughts and feelings, the emotions and knowledge, the love and the life. Did i forget the feeling? No, not the powers of earth, nor the demons of hell could take it from me, were it so easy.

If there is a person who evoked very strong feelings in me, even long ago, one never really truly forgets the feelings or the person. One might temporarily put this person and the feelings out of one's mind. But, usually some circumstances in the present, bring that person, even fleetingly, to mind. Then, all those feelings associated with this person, that you had since "worked through" and "left in the past" come flooding back like lightening....but, in a way removed from those past experiences.
For me, at least, I feel these feelings I had at the time about this particular person as a result of certain circumstances conjuring up memories. But, I also have "hindsight" feelings; those associated with who I am now, reflecting on the person and those experiences I've had with him or her.
I think this applies mostly to traumatic experiences that are associated with "someone". Similar circumstances, or even an event I believe is totally unrelated in any way, just seems to bring back a flood of memories which are associated with the not-so-nice emotions I experienced long ago. But, on top of that, I feel "about" the memories and person from my present mind-set.
Does any of this make sense to you? I suspect those who have truly experienced any type of trauma might be able to relate.

Enki, I have a real problem trying to answer this.
I do not forget people. No matter what role a person has played in my life, I still remember the person. I don't forget the feeling either. I can put it to the back of my mind, but it is always there
Whether I have liked, disliked or loved someone, that feeling remains even when they're gone, but not forgotten.

No, I never forget someone who was a part of my life and no I don't forget the feelings associated with that person I just move on to a different place or the feelings change but i never forget because each experience, each person, wither being pleasant or not has altered my life in some way. It maybe big it may be small, it may be for the good, it may be for the bad but it is still apart of me and if it is apart of me then it is apart of my memories too.

I have been a lot of relationships where I've fell deeply in "love" with people but they hardly ever felt the same way. However, when I broke up with them for this reason and saw them in public, those old feelings always (and I do mean Always) came flooding back. My stomach would tighten up with butterflies, my heart would beat fast, and something in me wanted to get back with them although I knew better. So, the answer is NO, when you FORGOT the PERSON, you Don't FORGET the FEELING. I find myself feeling the exact same way I did when we were together. Great question!

This isn't as easy as it first seemed! What first came to mind was all the people I've cared about, & will NEVER forget--so--I always have feelings about them. People whose lives have taken different paths to distances no longer possible to share, (career, family, lifestyle, death).
But then I thought, have I "forgotten" anyone? & why? This was difficult because once I forget, I forget forever. It would have to be because of a serious betrayal, continued dishonesty, distrustfulness.
If I can't resolve something like this with someone, I disconnect. To even remember them would be a negative I don't want in my life. So, I can't answer this question as to forget a person is to forget everything about them.

No, I experience this more with songs then people. If I hear an old song on the radio, I will not know the words but I will get a very uneasy felling at the pit of my stomach. My theory is that I must have heard that song during a very tragic period of my life and it inflicts those same emotions that I felt so long ago. At the same time, certain songs give me a happier youthful feeling.

I thought I have forgotten everything and I am completely over it, but it turn out that deep inside I remember very well both the person and the feeling... I no longer have problems with listening to our songs, watching our movies and sometimes I'm even wondering "Why was I so in love with this music" and then "Oh, yes I used to listen to it with him" no big deal now... And all the pain was completely gone. Than something happens - just like this person returned in my life in the face of someone else. And I remembered all of it.

You cannot completely forget a person that was significant in your life and I don't think you forget the feelings that arose around that person. It's like a familiar smell or scent. You always remember the way your grandma's house smelled, the way a pot of coffee can wake up even the deepest of sleepers, or the perfume of an ex-lover...
But, it's those people from our pasts and those experiences that make us who we are today and that's what makes it...unforgettable!

Short version: moved overseas and moved back. Time passed. Stuff changed. Result: When meeting people I used to know, they've changed, I've changed and I've forgotten them. However, though I cannot remember their names, or where I know them from, I often have a "feeling" about them.
I cling to that feeling trying to resurrect something of the memory, to place them in the complicated time line. It usually doesn't work, however, times I do remember I am amazed at how right on the feeling was.
