“hi!! omg it's been so long, i was thinking about you the other day and realized we hadn't talked in forever, i'd love to catch up if you're around!”
Been way too long. Was thinking about you. Coffee this month?
“hey!! i know this is out of the blue but i just saw [thing] and it made me think of you, i hope you're doing well and would love to hear what you're up to”
Saw [thing] and thought of you. What's new?
“hi, i know it's been forever and i've been meaning to reach out for a while, i'm sorry i went quiet, life got weird for a while, i miss you”
Sorry I went quiet. Life got weird. I miss you.
