is it wrong to miss a dangerous old friend?

i met a guy that was just out of a secure unit cuz he killed someone when he was 15. and after we became friends he asked if i wanted to kill someone to see if i could get away with it. i lost contact with him a few years ago which is probably for the best but for some reason i really miss him

Update:

lol i have no intention of trying to find him! especially since he was going out with my best friend for ages so she wouldnt appreciate me finding him because apparently he used to batter her.

    it's common to miss old friends, no matter what kind of history they have. because in the end when you lose contact with someone, naturally it's all the good memories that stick and you forget the bad end of everything.

    it works that way on many levels, some extreme like yours and some more common like elementary school friends or boyfriends. i remember a relationship of mine ended very roughly but a year later i found myself missing him even after all the bad things we said to each other. i just miss the time we spent and the friendship we had.

    and i understand you miss him, which is NORMAL, it's not WRONG, however it would be wrong to try and pursue that relationship.

    i mean, there must be something severely disturbing going on with him if he kills someone at 15, and worse yet he nearly dragged you into it. so i would definitley NOT suggest regaining contact.

    It's normal to feel a little sadness when someone leaves your life, even if it's for the best. The person might have had a quality that you were attached to. Maybe you thought he had a quality or a potential that really you only imagined. In any case, there are lots of people in this world, and you can find somebody else who isn't dangerous. A person with homicidal tendencies is someone to stay away from, even if they are nice sometimes. It's best to move on.

    Yeah, it's probably not in your best interest to remain friends with him. It's perfectly fine to miss him, but that's completely different than remaining in contact.

    You might even maybe wanna talk to say a professional.
