Since you did not have a chance to say goodbye or ask any questions, or anything else, it is not all that surprising that something has remained in your system, that you did not achieve (if you'll excuse the word) "closure" with respect to him.

Hopefully, having spoken to him now you will have a clearer sense that this relationship is indeed over, and you will be able to move on to something more rewarding. (I really don't mean to hurt you by saying that, it just does seem that that's what has happened.)
