Pretty Lady is right: your wife needs you now more than ever. Maybe the day will come when you're free to pursue your first love, but until that time, you are doing the right thing by staying true to your wife, whom I'm sure loves you.
Besides, sometimes dreams die in the face of reality. And on the other hand, F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "There are many kinds of love in world, but never the same love, twice." The love you had for the girl you knew at 15 is unique, as is the love you share with your wife. But don't destroy your marriage to chase a shadow of what was.
Please add my best wishes for your wife's recovery.
