Dear Hopeful,
How distressing for you, it is sad when the people we know become the people that we knew, especially when they were so important to us. I have spent some time abroad and have come back to find many facets of my life have moved on and become irrecovably altered in by absence. Like yourself, some of those I cared for are no longer in my life.
I would like to get to know you better Hopeful, you seem the sort of soul that I would very much like to know you better.
Warm Regards
M.
