<human>: Well me and this girl dated for almost 3 years but then she dumped me and moved on to another guy about 18 months ago. She was my best friend and lover. I guess she just got bored and moved on since she was older than me and in college. as time went on I eventually got over her after a few months. Thing is a few days ago her mom messaged me asking me why I don't give her a call or try talking with her since she's single again and living back with her. She gave me her number and I sent her one text telling her I just wanted to say hi and talk and if she didn't care or if I was annoying her just to ignore the next and pretend like it never happened because I wouldn't bug her anymore...but after a few days I began to realize I might be happy with my job life and family and everything else...but I still miss my bestfriend...my love...her mom has suggested I go talk to her in person at her house but I feel that's just going to annoy her and push her away...I don't know what to do... I thought I was over her and wouldn't care anymore but.. idk...im lost confused right...sorry for such a shitty post im just sad..

What should I do?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: texted ex of 3 years been 18 months since we broke up and got over her told her to ignore it if she didn't care, got ignored but I realized I still care a lot for her...
