The first time you really feel something for someone....your first love.
You are with them and then it ends and you dont speak to them for 4-5 years....and you still cant stop thinking about them even though you havent spoken to that person in almost half a decade....
What could that possibly mean?

I still think about my first love pretty often, and it's been 13 years. I think it's because that person is the first one who made you realize what love really means. They will always have a special place in your heart.
Also, I have noticed that I tend to look for the traits I liked in that guy in all the guys I've dated since. There was something that drew me to him specifically, and I always am reminded of him by little mannerisms, etc. in other people.
(My first love is married with a kid, by the way, so I never have the "what if" thoughts. There's no going back, but it's nice that my first love was such a positive experience).

I haven't seen mine for 10 years, but I ran into his sister last year. She proceeded to tell me that he has sort of fallen apart physically and emotionally, has a big beer belly and long scruffy beard. :) (Not that those things are inherently bad - just very different from how I remember him).
My point is, although I haven't seen him and he will always hold a very special place in my heart, it's very unlikely he'd live up to my expectations now. Plus, there's the whole married with a kid thing.
There's no harm in calling the girl to say hello, but don't expect the great American romance novel to come out of it. Look at it as checking in with an old friend - no expectations. :)
