A couple who have drifted apart for various reasons (not necessarily Star-Crossed Lovers), only to discover they still have feelings for each other when they get together a lot later. The key part of this trope is that the feelings (even if one-sided) persist after their reunion. Subtropes include New Old Flame (the old flame who was not known to the audience until coming back) and Old Flame Fizzle (the old flames reunite but there's no "spark"). Contrast Working with the Ex, wherein no romantic feelings remain long before the reunion. If the character never appears in the work, it's probably The One That Got Away. |

In Adventure Time, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline have a long and rocky history that ended in a nasty breakup long before the series began. When their respective friendships with Finn gradually bring them back into each other's orbits, it's obvious they never quite got over each other. | |

Highschool of the Dead: Zigzagged with Takashi and Rei. They were an item back in middleschool, but they drifted apart when Rei was forced to repeat her Junior year. Since she wouldn't open up to him about itnote Rei's father had asked her not to, since it could impact his investigation against Shidou and his father, he began to ignore her; leaving Rei feeling she'd been abandoned. So she began dating his best friend Hisashi, who provided her with the emotional support she needed. Takashi hid his resentment towards their relationship, not knowing Rei still harbored feelings for him, until after Hisashi was killed during the outbreak. They eventually reconciled after Rei confessed to him, while they were at the Takagi estate. |

Chuck: Chuck's ex, who was mentioned in the first 5 minutes of the pilot. Of course, he had no idea at that point that she was a Fulcrum agent and was forced to dump Chuck; she also lied about sleeping with his best friend, who never bothered to deny it. There's a good reason for this. Bryce did everything he could to keep Chuck from being recruited (Chuck's father asked him to). Telling Chuck that he didn't sleep with Chuck's girl would prompt Chuck to investigate further and get dangerously close to either CIA or Fulcrum. | |

In the backstory of X: Beyond the Frontier, Major Kyle Brennan and Lieutenant Elena Kho became very close during their time serving together in the United Space Command, to the point where their coworkers jokingly nicknamed them "the lovebirds." They did have a brief love affair but ended it by mutual agreement; however they each wondered for a very long time if such had been the right decision. By the time they start working together in the games, though, it's unclear if any feelings remain. | |

In Red (2010), Victoria and Ivan are each other's old flames. They were assassins on opposite sides of the Cold War, and she was assigned to kill him. He wears the scar in his chest proudly because he knows if she hadn't loved him, she would've shot him in the head instead. He gets to get her out of a jam, and treats it like a great romantic moment. | |

While it's not explicitly stated how close they were, they saw enough of each other for Fenton's mechanic Gus to slyly raise the issue.

In My Huntsman Academia, Toshinori and Glynda are depicted as this. They were extremely close during their days as Beacon Academy students, to the point that Toshinori was willing to divulge the secret of One For All to her in his second year. As much as they cared about each other, they drifted apart as Toshinori went out adventuring as the Symbol of Peace while Glynda devoted herself to training the next generation of Huntsmen and Huntresses. They begin to catch up again after he takes up a teaching position at Beacon to look after Izuku and they clearly enjoy each other's company. | |

HERZ: Kurumi had a crush on Shinji since they met in high-school. However he was always in love with Asuka. She spent years chasing after him, but she never managed to get him to reciprocate her feelings, and her attempts to seduce him were impulsive and ill-though-out and alienated him further. When the story begins she meets him again after seven years, she still has a crush on him, but Shinji is married to Asuka and has a daughter. And even so she keeps chasing after him and he keeps running away from her. | |

In The Owl House Eda and Raine were romantically involved during their younger days, until Eda's secretiveness and defensiveness concerning her curse pushed them apart, and their interactions in the present show that there's still some attraction on both sides. While it’s not fully confirmed, the ending heavily implies that Eda and Raine got back together. | |

In Hopscotch, Isobel von Schoenenberg and Miles Kendig were two spies who drifted apart because of their careers. After Miles is forced into retirement he gets back together with Isobel (now a widower). They then proceed to go at it as if they'd never stopped. Their efforts to keep Miles ahead of both the KGB and CIA when he decides to write his memoirs are quite heartwarming. | |

Bonnie Tyler: This is the theme of "Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean". The song narrates how Bonnie reunites with someone she used to love in the past and, while that affection had withered, her reunion with him has reignited her feelings. She even feels like going to the ocean to scream how much she (still) loves him. | |

The Helmsman Saga has Margot Effer'wyck, Wilf Brim's love. She got married to other men twice (and had a kid), was presumed dead, had a drug addiction which forced her to betray Wilf, he finds other women every book and believed more than once that he truly left her and his feelings behind... Somehow, she always manages to pop back. The (currently) last book leaves an open ending on the matter. | |

CSI is hinting around at this since the arrival of Julie Finn. It's known that D.B. never cheated on his wife, thanks to Word of God, but it's been implied they had something before D.B. met his wife. Possibly another high school scenario, since D.B. and his wife met there too. | |

"Remember the Time" by Michael Jackson is a Love Nostalgia Song about a person reminiscing about a past lover. In the music video for the song, Jackson plays a mysterious sorceror who is heavily implied to be a past lover to Pharoah Ramses II's Queen, as he sings the song to her and the two share a secret kiss later when she's alone in her bedchambers. | |
