That's the thing about moving on, the names all wrong. If you ever actually wanted to 'move-on' well, you never really can. In fact, telling yourself that you are moving on seems to make it worse. In time, and only with time, you replace the memories with new ones. You find new people to wonder about & soon you find that those you needed to move on from are never really gone, they just seem to fade into the background. They become an unused piece of furniture that the eyes barely notice when scanning the room, but notice its empty absence. They're there, but they're not. That's when you have moved on.
