I think it's using "a part of me" as a metaphor to say that she'll never forget the guy (if that's how you choose to interpret it) because of all the experiences they've had together. Like basically, she chooses to keep the experience in her mind so that she can learn from it instead of just vapidly letting it go.
Then again,
it doesn't have to be about an ex-boyfriend at all.
It could be about
a crush,
a particularly life-changing experience,
a friend who moved away or that you've lost touch with,
a deceased person, (a la Phantom of the Opera)
Hmm, for me it's ironically about a particular song. It's been years and some of my friends say I should stop obsessing about it but I just can't help singing it and bringing up memories associated with it.
One complaint I'd say about this song, though, is that the chorus sounds very similar to Elliot Yamin's "Wait for You". I'm not sure who came first, though.
