Because after everything, you can't blame the person who's trying their best to move on but can't. The true identity of the person they can't seem to forget is insignificant at this point. What matters is the emotions and memories that feel like gifts to them. Everyone has received a gift or a reward that's greater than anything they've ever received, and that experience is one that you can never forget. It is the type of experience that you'll tell stories about year after year and refer back to in every possible situation that you can. With this mindset, it's expected of them to be grateful for those memories, but at the same time, have a heart filled with grief, deluging in sorrow because they will be nothing more than simply memories. They dwell in the past and consign to oblivion of the present. They're only "okay" when their mind and body is occupied and even then, they're unable to be fully distracted from those thoughts. No distraction is enough. Experiences that have touched your soul, people that have engraved their names onto your pliable heart, are things you cannot fool your mind into thinking it has forgotten.
