Perhaps one of the most romantic songs every recorded was "Unforgettable", vocalized by the late Nat King Cole.  I do not recall who composed the melody and lyrics, but I believe that this person experienced his/her own great love story.  The memory of someone you loved very dearly in the past  never ceases to haunt your heart and soul.  How many of you have walked away from the love of your life for whatever reason and still suffer the pangs of loneliness and hunger for his/her love in the present?  What would you give to recapture the moment? Unfortunately, many of us are incurable romantics - and yet are unable to change this fact.  To have loved someone so intensely is, in my opinion, generated from a strong Neptunian vibration and totally out of our control.   We project all our yearnings and ideals onto the beloved.  Unlike a very ordinary, mundane relationship, it  incorporates a spiritual dimension.  It is a strong dynamic embedded in the psyche.  True, we can alter the intensity of the longing with rational and practical considerations, but we never really sever the memory of the beloved even if the love was never consummated.  It especially hurts if we feel we are to blame for the breakup. When you least expect it, a song from the past will play on the radio you are listening to or someone may say something that will jolt you back to that special time in your life - to a picture of that special person. Ecstatically, you remember his/her touch, smile, embrace . . .  unforgettable.  So what is one to do?  Can we go back?  I think we can -  sometimes.  I have heard from people that they were able to resume a relationship from the past.  Usually there were circumstances (that seemed fated) instrumental in getting the two people together again.  You might try visualizing the event - really putting in some intense energy.   There are some important considerations: Make sure this person is free. You do not wish to be responsible for the breakup of a marriage and in this case, back off.  But if the person is uncommitted to a relationship, go for it.   You must be realistic and realize it can never be exactly as it was. It probably will be better as you now realize what and who you had.  Don't worry about age.  Although you are both older - your heart is still as young and enthusiastic as it was back then. Otherwise, you would not still be mentally and emotionally stimulated. If your love was true - and you know this for a fact - then it may be worthwhile to pursue the possibility.  What have you got to lose?
