I had this happen to me before, my ex contacted me a year later after having a bad breakup and he genuinely expressed his feelings and it was obvious he (and both of us actually) grew out of it and had the chance to reflect on things objectively. I appreciated it to be honest. It’s a pleasant feeling to end things on good terms.
If you feel like you have things to say I relate to it so much. I was ghosted once by an ex flirt and I remember how not getting closure and not being listened felt. Although he was just a flirt it was so very hot for me and I tried every way to get a single response back to have a closure. I was overthinking so much and I was literally talking to myself while I was texting him and doing stupid things like accidentally slipping his “nickname” out on my texts or sending voice memos just to get his attention for a tiny bit of closure. When I think about it now I feel like ughhh it was so childish but on the other hand I needed to do it to get it out of my system. And I know and understand how the communication you feel that lacked feels like. Go for it and text them how you feel?
But have you asked to see him again? Just suggest drinks or a meal before he goes home for Xmas. Don’t overthink it.
There will never be a right time to break up. Best to do it sooner rather than later.
