You can take the longest of times to get over a person. At first such a thing would be hard and awful, but at some point it'd get better. You'd be either at peace with the situation or get numb. Either way, you deal.
In the latter case though, it might be very inconvenient when you meet this person again. Especially if you live on the mainland, where pretty much meeting anyone the first time is a matter of luck, you don't expect to meet someone again if you don't force it. In this case a renewed encounter is a peculiar fate indeed.
Suddenly what was once numb, starts throbbing again like a migraine head ache. And so you have to do the whole 'dealing-with' process all over again... or you continue where you left off... except now with some more regrets for lost time.
I advise you to see the movie Before Sunset before such a thing occurs. I already mentioned this sometime before. It can give you a lot more inspiration and context. It can give you hope. It can help initiate a conversation about things that are important. It can help bring you peace, especially if you happen to be a basket case that listens to these words of wisdom:
"regret for the things you did can be tempered by time, but the regret for the things you didn't do, is inconsolable."
