Dear Going Through Life:

You are welcome!

“well as every text starts, hope you’re doing well and etc. etc.“- I wouldn’t include this sentence. I’d start with Hey EN, how are you? or, if you prefer, Hey EN, I hope you are well (or okay).

“and well the ‘you met someone else’ lie was tactful“- I definitely wouldn’t include this part, it’s confrontational and it will significantly decrease the chances of her responding to you positively, if at all.

“I’ll get straight to the point“- I wouldn’t include this either. Instead, I’d just get straight to the point.

I would add to the text the important part: your goal to be friends with her. Edited, I suggest this version (for your editing):

“Hey EN, I hope you are well. You were on my mind recently. I really enjoyed the conversations we had over the phone and I miss them. I miss the genuine connection I felt we had, a kind of connection that’s hard to find.

I know, given the long distance thing you chose not to pursue a relationship further, and I understand and accept your choice. Still, I think it’s better to reach out and ask if you want to connect over call or something to catch up, as friends only.  Let’s try to stay in touch, if you feel the same.”
