wasn't clare the one who said that she would find him seven years ago? i hope that remains true.

Problem is that revenge against Priscilla became Clare's vow and reason to live. Meeting Raki and making the promise to reunite with him came many years later after Clare's tragedy.
If Clare hadn't run into Priscilla (or viceversa) she would had continue on her search for Raki, but I strongly believe that even if they had reunited with each other sooner would have been just for Clare to see him one more time and saying good-bye forever.
Unfortunately for Raki, Clare's revenge takes precedence above else, that doesn't imply or suggest in anyway that Clare lacks tact or kind feelings. The thing is that Raki's reunion comes second and just to say to him good-bye forever once she encounters him.
The tragedy is that for Clare there's no tomorrow, no future; she forsook those things. She chose the past which lies in Teresa's memory, and her destination is to destroy Priscilla no matter what takes even if it means Awakening.
In that regard, not only she went against Teresa's last will (that was for Clare to live and die like a human being), but also she concealed the full truth from Raki. Their reunion was meant to become the final good-bye; the departing of ways, although part of the blame can also be attributed to Raki due for him at being so naive when he made the promise to Clare. Raki believing that their reunion would mean the return to those old days of the past with the two traveling together again.
Recall that during the "Darkness in Paradise" arc from the second manga volume, Clare cryptically warned Raki not to get attached to her and not to expect any kindness from her, because he would find nothing but pain and sorrow.
However, many of us can agree that once Teresa recovered her human heart she never kept all of her emotions concealed from Clare, although her past is another story.
Whereas Clare possibly kept many of her most important emotions concealed from Raki, because she did not wish for two things:
1. Gaining someone precious just to lose him again, like it was the case with Teresa and her family beforehand.
2. Had her heart and abilities as a warrior decreasing, because of her bonding with Raki.
