Of course it is possible to pick up a friendly broken off relationship.
The question is, if you start writing, how do you think your piano teacher
friend will perceive your actions?? i.e. As just a friend writing, or
as resuming (starting?) a long distance relationship.

For one thing, if you write "a too heavy letter" (let's leave that to
the reader's imagination), you may frighten her and never receive an
answer. For that matter, starting off writing as friends, which you seem
to have done, may be all she wants.

Getting that to change to a letter exchange between "more than friends"
(also undefined) could well be impossible, or at least very time consuming.
(For example, I have been writing to a good friend who I used to date
for about 6 years, but every time I suggest being more than just friends
she either ignores the request or suggests that she really doesn't want that.
I haven't seen her in about 3 yrs, and wonder what would happen if I
really visited her again, but that is probably all wishful thinking.).

This relates back to our time honored topic, HOW MUCH TIME do you invest
before you give up??
