The List!

Would it be safe to assume that most women in their late 20's, early 30's have what I like to call "The List"? To me The List consists of the names of people I had relationships with in the past--either romantic or platonic--that I have lost touch with over the years. To be on my List you are a person who played a significant role in my life at one time. I loved you or cared deeply about you. I think of you often. It is hard to recall memories from a point in my life without your face taking center stage. Perhaps I goofed up and made dumb mistakes. Maybe distance was the reason for us parting ways. Whatever the reason for losing touch, I want to know that you are doing well in life. I want you to be happy and to find the things you have been looking for. I want to see your smiling face and hear your warm voice on the other end of the phone.
Get the picture???
Lately I have been thinking about my List more and more. I think it has something to do with the big 3-0 rapidly approaching and a strong desire to hold on to my youth. Whatever the reason, I have the List on my mind an awful lot.
What is a girl to do? Become a phycho stalker and track these people down or just let them remain where they currently are--in my past?
My List is short--only consisting of a handful of people. Of course there is a higher number of people who played an important part in my life at some point, but remember this is an elite group--the ones I want to see again.
