<human>: In April, I [21F] went through a terrible break-up with my ex [25 M at the time, now 26] who I am still in love with. We dated for 1.5 years. I won't get into the details of what led to it because I'm trying to move on and there's no use in discussing why things went wrong.

I'm asking for insight into an article I read and I apologize that I can't find the link to it. The article talked about how you can meet someone..the "one"... but still not end up with them due to circumstances not being right. Meeting the right person at the wrong time. Maybe the answer is more simple than I'm imagining. I know I haven't been in the right frame of mind. How did you get over the "right one" who you met at the wrong time?

I am not new to break-ups. I've had my struggles when it came to getting past relationships that also ended badly and I understand how with time comes acceptance. I've loved before and have gotten over the disappointment and heartache that comes with separation. But this particular person is different and I can't explain it very well except to say he is still the person I wish to spend the rest of my life with. If he contacted me out of the blue, I would drop everything to be with him.

I tell myself every day that I loss my chance with him. There's not a chance I will see him again (he moved away recently) and it's not appropriate to reach out to him. I need to respect his decision and he's probably moved on. He's a good guy and he will no doubt find someone else better. No amount of reciting these facts, reading inspirational articles, busying myself with life has deterred thoughts about him. I want to reach a point when I don't immediately start crying when someone with a similar deodorant scent passes by. Yes, it's that bad. 

Your insight is much appreciated.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
