It's only a mind getaway

Why some people can’t be “just friends” with their exes is because you haven’t completely moved on from your past relationship with them. Feelings may still be there or you still cling onto the pain or heartbreak it brought you. And I think until you’ve let those feelings go, you won’t be able to see them as a friend. I think what plays a huge part in this too is forgiveness; whether it’s to sincerely forgive them, or to forgive yourself.
