Should I try to contact her after so long?

well you can try to contact her and myspace is the exact thing for you... you can jst add her as frend and just casually ask her about her life and doing and get to know about her present situation.. if she has been feeling the same about you she's sure to make some kinda move... but i feel just tsaking to her will let you get over that 8 years frustation.... n if u r meant to be together... well just leave that to destiny!
