The pain of remembering what could have been in our future ... even if really deep down inside at some level we knew beforehand whilst in the situation it would never really be that ... is hard to let go of.
We all have certain expectations - maybe not so much expectations but things that we desire out of relationships. Love, companionship etc. And when it doesn't turn out quite like that it can be disappointing.
There are very different levels of love.
So perhaps you loved him, yes.
But on a different level, to say, someone you may have imagined spending the rest of your life with.
