first love

Gr
Do you ever get over your first love? I dated him for almost 2 years. We still talk as close friends. We both still like each other, but will never get back together because we weren't good togther. I think it's just because we went through a lot together including his dad dying. I still love him, but don't love him. I don't know how to put it. I don't want to be with him but I love him. He says he feels the same about me and we have tried to get back together, it never works. So I guess I'm just wondering it's been 2 years since we broke up, will it ever be diffrent? Sorry for the long post.
