Obviously, forgetting a loved one is never easy, and it seems impossible to most. You cannnot choose who you fall in love with, or when you fall in love. Also, you cannot choose when to fall out of love. Moving on after a serious relationship is a very hard thing to do, and for some it may take years. You cannot just forget about someone that you think you may be in love with, because you'll miss them, and catch yourself thinking about them all the time, whether you want to or not. There is nothing you can do about it besides giving yourself time to heal.

So you can't forget someone that you love. When the author of this quote says it would be like trying to remember someone you've never met, they mean that it is almost impossible. You can't remember someone that you've never met, and that's a fact. In the same sense, you cannot forget someone that you love. You just have to give yourself time to heal, and to move on, and that person will probably always stay in your memories.
