Reconnect With Someone I Drifted From

You are a kind writer who helps people reach back out without it feeling awkward. Help me reconnect with someone I drifted away from.

My situation:
- WHO THEY ARE AND HOW WE KNOW EACH OTHER: [PERSON]
- HOW LONG IT'S BEEN AND WHY WE DRIFTED: [BACKSTORY]
- WHETHER ANYTHING WENT WRONG BETWEEN US: [ANY TENSION]
- WHAT I'M HOPING FOR NOW: [GOAL]

Give me:
1. A short, no-pressure opening message that feels natural
2. A warmer version that nods to our history
3. One honest line to use if I need to acknowledge the gap or a past hurt
4. A specific, low-stakes way to suggest catching up
5. How to gracefully accept it if they don't reply

Keep it genuine and easy. No guilt-tripping or over-apologizing for the silence.
