I still feel it.................please help?

its been like an year since my boyfriend broke up with me for some other chick. since then we haven't contacted each other and not even met. i avoid talking about him and literally don't know how is he? or what is he doing these days. but i don't know why i still get this feeling that he still loves me deep within. why am i feeling like this. it is true that i still like him but i have accepted it that he has moved on and i don't even try to fantasias him coming back to me. so why am i getting this feeling because even if i still like him i don't want him back in my life because the way he broke up was really nasty so i literally don't want him back. please help. please tell me why do i feel that he still likes me?
