I got an email today that honestly shocked me. Let me back up first with some back story...

my ex-boyfriend and I have been split for a little over 4 years. The first few years I hardly gave him a second thought, but for over a year now I've been having dreams about him and things keep reminding me of him.

And, this was probably a stupid thing to do...a few months back when I was feeling very depressed, I emailed him and confessed that I still love him and always would. I honestly didn't think I would ever hear from him as he is in another relationship and hundreds of miles away.

But..today I get a short email with a promise of a longer one later, that he hasn't forgotten me and he's not happy where he is now. I don't know how to feel...part of me is elated, part of me is worried and part is just confused. Has anyone else got back together with your ex after years apart and had it work out?
