Why didn't he answer my letter or phone calls?

A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

When I was 17 I began an epistolary relationship with a man (he was 24 at the time). We met under strange circumstances and we instantly liked each other. We wrote to each other constantly. He traveled around a lot and was never in one place for long. This relationship went on for 3 years. Then, I went through a transitional period, lots of upheaval at home and since this man was not physically there, our communication just sort of fell off. A few years ago, I attempted to contact him. He called me while I was out and left a message. I tried calling him back a couple of times, he never returned my calls. So, remembering the nature of our relationship in the past, I wrote him a letter. I told him the truth, which is, I am in love with him and have been since I was 17. I never heard from him. I realize I probably scared him because that info came from left field for him. But why did he never get back to me? And why can't I stop thinking about him? Finally, should I try again to contact him?
