External things have changed. I've just been promoted at work, my times have changed so I'm not working as late. The house is almost finished and ready to sell which is a massive weight lifted. My brother is sorted with his situation. I'm also working out now, have been catching up with friends and going out a lot more than I did. Ultimately I know what I want going forward whereas before it was clouded.
I know the way she texts. In the past I have not recieved a reply and I wouldn't try contacting her again. Then things would crop up were she acknowledged me or showed me that she was still somewhat interested (facebook, instagram) so I would get back in touch. The fact that she replied so quickly and not negative has given me a glimmer of hope. I know you guys are going to say forget it and don't get your hopes up but I have to try and at least meet if she gets back to me.
chigal7 - I agree, she is a wonderful person and I'm a piece of **** for treating her the way I did. I really didn't run away. I thought about it long and hard and made the wrong choice. Everyone makes mistakes and this is defintely my biggest and most regretful yet.
Here's the thing ... Some circumstances of your life have calmed down, but what are you going to do when the next round of stressors crops up??
Are you going to take off again when your workload picks up? If you were married and the car broke down, would you question your whole existence? If the kids all got sick at once, would you file for divorce??
4 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's a blip. If I were her, I'd be VERY gun-shy around you.
You've already proven to her that when the going gets tough, you bail. And it wasnt even that tough, you still bailed rather than work together. Dont think she hasnt forgotten that.

This is almost certainly what she's thinking. It's what I'd be thinking. I wouldn't be anxious to meet up again either, not even casually. I'd probably just be moving forward.
