New relationship reveals unresolved issues of past love

I'm 28, I got involved with a 24 year old a few months ago. We get along very well, and the sex is impassioned. We've started saying that we love each other. But the further this goes, the more I think of the girl I was with when I was 19. I was and still am in love with her; she is the love of my life. But I screwed things up back then... I was arrogant, I lied to one of her closest friends, I betrayed one of my own, and worst of all I lost touch with her since then. I stopped calling for birthdays and christmases, even when she kept in touch with me. I don't know what to do. I desperately wish to regain touch with my old love. I will never find anyone like that for me again. But I don't want to throw away my life in pursuit of in unattainable dream. What do I do? I wish I had someone to talk to more about this.

well i had the same problem ten years ago and until now i still dream of this guy mainly because of the unfinished business but your problem is far worse than mine. i guess you have this feeling of guilt, if you have more time to find this girl or at least someone who knows this girl tell them your regretful with what happened let her know, by then you will be able to move on before you start a new relationship.
