Best answer by far, in my opinion.
Comment on Is it reasonable to tell a person you once loved about the fact years later?

Honestly, if this is something you really want to do, I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but you do need to be careful.
Don’t make it creepy. Don’t use the word “love”. You did not love her, you had a crush on her. Keep it simple. Keep it friendly.
Something like “Hey, (something) just reminded me of you, and I wanted to say hi. I don’t know if you ever realized it, but I had a little crush on you in school. Hope your doing well!”
No romantic poetry, no talk of love or soul mates. You just throw it out there, and let them control the narrative. If they never respond, you never follow up. If you talk as friends, then be friends. If they secretly had a crush on you this whole time and want to get together, congratulations!

Based on OP’s other replies it’s just trolling at this point, but if he wasn’t, everyone is so much better off by just leaving this alone. It was a weird idea from the start and every last post is another nail in the coffin for anything good coming out of this.
