Ego or Love?

Is it ever possible to get over someone who made such an impact on your life? There is no amount of time that can take away from memories; however, is it healthy to ignore memories and go off of straight facts? 

Voluntarily boarding an emotional roller coaster is not for the faint hearted or for the one who is not a hopeless romantic. But sometimes those bumps are worth the thrill that comes with it. Thinking about the pros and cons of a potential relationship seems to be an endless process based on in the moment feelings. Love is an unwavering beast that does not play fair on either side. 

I am in a sticky situation with someone who has shown themselves to be untrustworthy with not only me, but other relationships. Yet, I will not let it die because I feel like I am owed for the time, energy, and love I poured into this individual. Perhaps, putting my pride aside would save me from this; however, it is harder to place your pride on the back burner and put your heart first. What is harder to rebuild—your heart or your ego?
