If someone has not kept in touch and you want to maintain contact with them, you should try to get back in touch once, or at the most twice. After that, no matter how painful it is, you must let go. There is no point chasing after someone who doesn’t want to stay in your life. Let go. That is the best way, and the only way. It will hurt. But then it will hurt a tiny bit lesser the next day. And a little lesser the day after that. Eventually it stops hurting. And we heal. But we will always carry that emptiness where their love used to be.
