whenever you're really close to someone, you have great intimacy... sexual, emotional, psychological, informational, experiential, etc. lots of intimacy. and when a relationship ends, it creates some very major 'loose ends' in terms of what all that intimacy means anymore. thus the birth of feelings like 'betrayal', which is common. anyway, it could be anything, but maybe you still, on some deep down unconscious level, have some intimacy 'loose ends' with this girl which have yet to be tied off.
It wouldn't seem weird to me. I have been apart from my ex fiance for 2.5 years now, and I still feel 'some' need for closure. its pretty mild now, but just for example, yesterday i was reminded of a memory with him, and at first the memory made me happy, and then sad, then angry, and then I briefly fantasized about telling him off. I don't still love the guy, heck I wouldn't even pull him out of the way of a speeding bus, but there are still a few emotional ties and sense of unfinished business with him. Nothing major, but it's still there. If he had been less of a dishonest louse, I'd probably be less far along in getting over him, he made himself easy to hate at the end, which I think hastened the moving-on process. But my point is, that intimacy loose-ends can linger quite a while.
