I completely agree... I'm not expecting anything to be the same exactly. In fact, I wouldn't want it to be that way... we had a very immature sort of co-dependent relationship. I'm sure any friendship we had now would be permanently colored by what went down between us back then, but he is an interesting guy and we both teach science now. There is still much in common. Plus, he is 1200 miles away so it would be a relationship of correspondence.

Thank you for your input! I know it is a sign of maturity that I'm doing it and that I actually pushed the send button (I've tried to write this very letter before). Hopefully he'll at least accept my apology for my part in it and at least make some peace
