Don't even try to compare. Don't LOOK for the girl who is like the one you missed because you will find yourself continually disappointed. Our memory of things that we desire/d will always be somewhat glorified and nothing can measure up to them. Just look for the ONE for YOU. She wasn't for YOU or 'destiny' would have placed you two in the position where you wouldn't have 'missed' her. I know this is an idealized vision of things but it helps you not overthink stuff.
Hubby had a girl that he felt was the one. He was friends with her for years. He still talks to her once in a while and is GOOD friends with her brother. But he missed his chance. I know about her and how he still feels about her. It isn't competition though. I know that he loves me as well and in a different way even.
You will find someone you can love and build a life with. Don't try to compare her just enjoy.
