Someone I haven't spoken to properly in years have just reached out to me - it's strange in a way it makes you wonder what goes through their head when they think "I think I'm going to talk to this person now after years of nothing"

Clearly something must have happened in their life to make them reach out? Normally there is a reason why you don't speak to someone: your drift away because one of you for some reason doesn't keep in touch or show any interest.

In this case I know it wasn't because of me. So it must have been on his part, I have my ideas of why he might have stopped talking to me also the fact that I fled The Homeland could have help in us growing apart.

But he's decided out of the blue to visit London and come and stay with me - for a few days. So I guess I'll have time to ask him about why we haven't spoken in years then.
