How do I forget her
I was friends with a girl in my class for around 3 years, we were best friends, and I felt a little bit more but Ik not to ask her out as we openly expressed our hate to unserious relationships that young ppl have. She was the first person outside my family whom I cried to we completed eachother in ways I neither truly appreciated and took for granted until a couple months ago I took the decision to stop talking to girls because of relegious reasons and I don't regret the decision but it hurts, I talked to her and explained to her why we can't talk anymore, she wished me the best but I heard from a friend that she was shocked and confused (fair enough tbh).
After I stopped talking to her I realized how much I actually love her, her character, the way she talks, the way she carries herself, Her way of thinking , the way she helped me when I opened up to her, her looks everything I took for granted until that moment. And I just sat their with despair for multiple months and now I believe I reached the final stage of grief but I still can't get her off my mind. I dreamt of her today , the dream was pleasant and calm but even in the dream I couldn't bring myself to talk to her, also today I had a football match (soccer) and next to the pitch was a basketball court which was filled with young ladies playing basketball then I just zoned out remembering how much she loved basketball how I used to finish footbal or an extra class then I would pass by the basketball court just to see her and talk to her.
I see her sometimes in exams, she is in the same class as me but it is online due to a war (perks of being in the middle east ig), so I only see her at exam times which is done in school. She still talked in class after I took that decision, and I would stand their replying wishing I could do more . I just want to hold her hands , I want to have a deep down conversation like what we used to do, I want to hear her contagious laugh , I want to look in her eyes, I want all of that , I want HER.
The memory of her is following me everywhere I can't anymore, I don't want to forget her, but I need to so I can stay stable. How can I forget her?
