Should I reach out?

My long distance gf broke up with me about 2 months ago. We were together for about 3 years and I lived with her in her country for a year. That time together was great, but the last stretch of long distance seemed to be too much.

The thing is, in one of our recent visits she was asking about marriage and it seemed like all was normal. It was just very jarring to say the least. I even had some reservations about us long term, and initially I felt relief when we broke up.

All this has never changed that I care about her as a person. I always told her that if we broke up I hope we could remain friends. The thing is that I've been giving myself space and haven't contacted her since, but I just feel like something is stuck in me and I can't really move on.

I guess I'm just afraid of how she'll respond and I don't want to regret doing it. Though, I don't suspect that she'll be negative. I just feel conflicted. I do eventually want to be able to talk with her as a friend again but I don't know when is the right time.

Could contacting her help with closure? Could it make it worse? I just don't really know the right course of action.
