Maybe because they still love the person .

maybe not necessarily so. letting go of something or someone is always difficult. maybe you have been so attached to this person that you fear what it would be like to be just on your own feet again. or perhaps, you feel betrayed?

when you love someone with all your heart you put all your dreams and expectations in that person,you give yourself totally..you start feeling like a whole and not a half anymore...you build your world around him..and when he leaves,everything crushes down on your head...the world that you've built,the dreams,and hopes...you feel lost and lonely,and feel like you lost a part of you...i know that's how i felt everytime and if it happens again i am afraid there will be nothing more left inside but pain and ash of all the heavy memories i keep..

That is one of the hardest things, when someone has been in your life for a while than bang that is it, you have no more contact with that person,

i think pride has something to do with it, too. perhaps, you just can't accept that it's OVER, and you feel betrayed at the same time. but you'll get over it, and when you do, you'll realize that it's a blessing in disguise afterall.

It's part of the many hurts in life. It's a strong emotion. Takes time to mend.

Because it seems that the other person did not appreciate you enough to stay in the relationship. It feels like all of your time has been wasted.
