Ya. It's not that you can't, you just chose not to forget.
It's not just about being 'emotional' or 'chi qing'. Sometimes humans just like to perceive (delude themselves) their love to be VERY HUGE so that it'll be worth a reason to hang on to, hope for and fight for. Especially when they've been trying to hang onto it all this while... Just to have their own time, actions and efforts 'justified', they blow-up the portion and 'size' of this love so that it's of that 'worth'. This pattern somehow always manages to 'trick' the mind into believing that the 'valuable' of the love is real. Hence often looping it into a 'karmanic trap'.
Another part of it is to perceive oneself as 'chi qing' enough so as to 'upgrade' one's own self-worth, especially towards that 'love'. As you've already seen how the love has been blown in proportion, it's not difficult to imagine how 'chi qing' one has to act in order to equivalent and maintain the balance of the whole 'equation'. Hence quite a very deadlock trap instead. That once someone allows himself / herself to fall within that 'pattern', it's often much easier to indulge and be lost within than to get out of it. Especially at the point when one is vulnerable and weak from the wounds of 'love' and more easily rely on 'instinct' alone.
