My husband VS. First love?

Okay the title is a bit misleading but I have a problem.... Not a problem really but I need your help. My first love was everthing that a first love should be. Fairytale does not decribe what this was. My parents (mom mostly) is/was a control freak and instead of letting this "romance" run it's course after a year she drove us apart. I was 17 at the time. Me and this F.L. dated again years later but I got scared because it was TOO perfect and I broke it off. Today I am married and have been for 7 years. My husband is nothing compared to this man and we have been having problems for over half our married lives. TODAY I run into my ex. Now NO I am not going to cheat. I am not like that and he is married anyway. BUT we still have the same feeling for each other. I got erflys and he couldn;t stop givning me "that look". We chatted for about 10 min and then went our own ways but I feel the loss of what we had. How do I put this in the back of my mind and go on without him? I know I sound horrible but I LOVE this guy even after all these years. If there is such a thing as past lifes then we have been together before. There is no other way to explain the connection that we feel.....
