Can you ever get over your first love?

if you get anyone who says yes i would love for them to tell me how. i met a guy when i was 15 after a ten year relationship he wanted something else and i foolishly let him go. i missed him every day. and now 8 years later hes single again and its making me crazy. im in a different state, married with children, and still...... well no i dont think you ever do.
