Use this letter when the relationship hasn't ended with a bang, but rather a whimper. It’s a low-pressure way to remind them of your connection and spark a "second first date."

Hi [Name], I was at [mention a place/event] the other day, and something reminded me of that time we [mention a brief, positive shared memory]. It made me realize how much I’ve missed our connection lately. Life has a way of getting busy, and I think we both let the routine of the day-to-day push our friendship to the side. I’ve realized that I haven't been as curious about your world as I used to be, and I want to change that. I still find you to be the most interesting person I know, and I’d love to hear what’s been on your mind lately—no talk about chores, work, or stress. If you're up for it, I’d love to take you out for a proper "catch up" soon. Just a chance for us to be [Name] and [Name] again. No pressure, just a walk or a coffee to see where we are. Thinking of you, [Your Name]
