I love that everyone is asking questions that I can relate to this time around!
Yes, I absolutely think so. And not just because it just happened to me! If two people have a real connection, even distance can't erase that. It all depends on what the reasoning for the distance was, and if both parties still feel the same way. Emotions are fickle, and they don't just go away because we want them to. So even if you think you've talked yourself out of it, that might not actually be the case. Communication and honesty are key, however, so you have to be up front with the other person (and yourself!) about how you feel and what you want.
