Reach Out to Someone Special

I sent a message to an old friend (ex-boyfriend) who I have not spoken to for quite a while. Although things never worked out between us romantically he is more like a big brother to me but we don't speak as often anymore. Not for any real reason, more that we are both just so busy.
I messaged him to say Hi and we got chatting. He is having a hard time at the moment, whilst he wasn't ready in that moment to talk about what is going on, he knows I am here for him when he is.
Felt nice to know that I am still able to contact him and pick up where we left off in our friendship.
