During the holidays, there seems to be this sort of magnifying glass of ones life. People start to miss those who once meant a lot to them, and they want to bring them back into their lives. I think its a bit of the nostalgia coupled with some rose colored glasses looking at the past. I've had former....friends, boyfriends contact me during the holidays, but in the end it never works out because the old reasons for departing end up rearing their ugly heads again at some point.

In your case....well, if the distance isn't so much an issue anymore, then perhaps contact him? If it still is, then maybe its best to leave things alone. Passion going in the wrong direction can end up as a nuclear bomb instead of fireworks. But, you know your situation and the past relationship best. Maybe he isn't long distance anymore? Either way, it sounds like this guy really misses you. As I said in the other thread, perhaps he regrets the end of the relationship, maybe he regrets not fighting for you harder. Maybe he's never found anyone like you since.
