     I can't get it off my mind.

Hear the storyline. Mary loves Ed very much because never ever has a man cared for her so much.  But recently, Mary learns that Ed used to have a girlfriend, and she's very upset and confides in Jane....
Mary: Jane, I'm very upset about something.  Can I talk with you?  I'd like your opinion.
Jane: What is it about?  Oh, is it about Ed?
Mary: Yeah, sort of....
Jane: So, what's up?
Mary: What do you think of Ed, Jane?
Jane: What do I think of him?  You know him better than I do, don't you?
Mary: Please, don't tease me.  Just tell me.
Jane: Well, remember the other day when you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration? 
Mary: Uh-hunh...
Jane: And remember you said that he really makes you happy?
Mary: Yeah. (Heave a sigh)  Ed is indeed a gentleman.  He has wonderful manners and is respectful of me.  But I'm really bothered by his past!
Jane: His past!?  Was he an ex-con or something?
Mary: No, no, no.  That's not what I mean.  He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very much.  He almost married her if it were not for an accident. 
Jane: Oh, I see.  But why are you so bothered?  That's already a history, isn't it?
Mary: I know.  But I just can't get it off my mind.
Jane: Come on, Mary.  You're just being a little jealous, but that's just fine.  You know, when you love him, you've got to love his past, his everything....  You've got to love him as a whole.
