You're surprised and pleased to run into each other from time to time, but you catch up for a few minutes and go back to your shopping. LOL.

this is similar for me as well. i still care deeply for my T, but no longer need him and i have moved on. i too remain in contact with my ex-T, pop into him from time to time, have had a few meet ups, and similar to what you said, for me it is like running into an old acquaintance. we both enjoyed each other enough, but we have our own lives and have moved onto new things. it feel very normal, is pleasant time spent for a brief period, and not the least bit awkward. it's good to know that you to have been able to experince similar after your therapy.
