keep your feelings inside of you. You will make it worse for yourself. Have been in this situation before. Forget her, if she still has feelings for you she will contact you. Ignore her.
I hope this will help
good luck man

 I agree with Dr Pete, its not going to cause harm by sending someone a birthday wish is it? It would be a different scenario if you were trying to get back with her while she is with somone else, but you are only wishing her happy birthday! Go on, just do it! xXx

 Be sure that you understand the reason you want to send her birthday greetings. Also, you need to understand what you expect in response - I've been there before; you want a response from her.
It all sounds so analytical, but that's what we're here for and why you posted your question. You are having a tough time getting past your failed relationship, which is normal. I let a failed relationship bother me for years, but during that time I still met other people, married one, and have been with her for sixteen years and counting.
As for my ex and that relationship, I persisted in maintaining contact because initially I wanted to believe that we could be together again. In a sense we are together now because we came to realize that we have a special relationship, just not a romantic one. And after some chilly years we are very close again, just not romantically.
You can't be certain what lies ahead for you and your ex. But understand that she has moved on, and if you and your ex have a mutual desire to rebuild a relationship, you will. But it takes two, so be patient and build slowly. Finally, if you two succeed in building a relationship, it may not be what you initially expected, but it could be way better than you imagined.
Good luck and take care.

Depends what you want to get out of it. Really ask yourself honestly why you want to send that text. If you want to make contact with her because you still have feelings then I would say no. Despite what Hollywood clap-trap movies would have us believe its almost always doesnt work if you get back with an ex-lover. This is from experience dude. If its a genuine 'let by gones be by gones' then what harm is a text going to do? But again beware, if you are sending this because you want to rekindle the flame and she doesnt respond you might feel youve been kicked in the guts. My advice: move on dude, lots of women out there and life is short, when you find the next significent one you will wonder why you spent so much time longing for something that wasnt going to happen. Its tough but possible and well worth it. Gotta be disciplined with yourself - best of luck man!

 If I were you I would send her a card to wish her happy birthday. However, only if it is a genuine act of friendship and not as a means of ingratiating yourself, back into her life.

What harm could it do. Worse case scenario, she ignores you. [but secretly feels happy that you remembered her]
Better case scenario, she texts you back saying thanks and you end up meeting up and getting back together :)

i hope i helped.
