When you open a new file (with gf or :n or another command) the old file remains in a buffer list. You can list open files with :ls

If you want to navigate easily between buffers in vim, you can create a mapping like this:

nmap  :bN
nmap  :bn

Now you can switch between buffers with Alt + left arrow or Alt + right arrow.

The complete documentation on mappings is here:
