Have you ever lost touch with someone and you wish you hadn't?

I lost touch with this really great guy I knew back in high School. We haven't spoken in 5 years. I found him a few days ago and we've been talking non stop, it's so great. I wish we hadn't lost those 5 years, but I'm so glad I was lucky enough to find him again.

    Yes! I was pen-pals with a guy in the Navy,thru "Operation Dear

    Abby". We had alot in common,exchanged photos,sent each other little gifts and actually got to meet in person.I really liked

    him and we kept in touch for a long time.Then,he was shipped out to Iceland.I got to speak with him before he left,and that was it.

    I've often wondered where he is and if he's alright,etc.

    At least it wasn't for my reason. I lost my first true friend and best friend. We were friends in the second and third grade. Then in the fourth grade we were in different classes. We were still friends but not so close. In the fifth grade she barely even spoke to me. Now I moved to the other side of the country and don't know how to contact her. Her name is Cindy Reyes. Her family's from Columbia. I miss playing hand games with her and tag at recess. At least we were in the school play together in the fourth grade. A true friendship that'll last forever is too hard to find. It's like you have 1 in 1000 chances of having a bffl(best friend for life). Keep your friends and be loyal to them and treat them nicely too. Losing a friendship brakes your heart and haunts you for the rest of your life.

    Yes, I knew this great chick when we were teens and we were great friends and always liked to be with each other, like soulmates. We lost touch. We both moved on. At one time, we were really close, intimate, but now we are like strangers.

    I've lost touch with a few good friends that I've had. We tried to keep up with one another but eventually stopped.

    I find myself missing the good times that we had especially when something reminds me of that time.

    My husband and I lost touch with another couple we used to hang out with about 10 years ago and I think about them often!
