Hey there!
That doesn't sound weird. You talked to him for quite awhile and enjoyed conversations with him. So I think it's nice you cared enough to wonder how he is now and want to speak with him again. I bet he'd appreciate knowing he mattered to you. It can be difficult to suddenly lose contact with someone whom you enjoyed talking to so I understand why you're having a difficult time with this. I'm glad you decided to reach out here and I hope simply talking about it somewhere has helped.
At night when you are having a bit of trouble sleeping from thoughts, could you journal? Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a good outlet because then your thoughts aren't only on your mind. Getting them out somewhere can be helpful. And you could write about anything you are thinking or feeling for an outlet. You can log on TeenHelp and come into the chat-room or you could message some of the users who are online at that time to keep you company.
You're a very caring person. When you begin a friendship with someone, you must genuinely care to still be thinking of him so I bet you'll be a very loyal and great friend to many in the future. Could it help to branch out to people in real life such as others at your school? Perhaps socializing and hopefully building new friendships would offer you comfort and allow you to move on a bit.
I realize this is hard for you but what is important to realize is that it is nearly impossible to simply quit caring or thinking of someone who you had in your life for a long time and/or who had an impact on your life. This is a situation where it's best to give yourself time, you know? Let others into your life and seek support. Talk about it and seek comfort. Let yourself feel the feelings involved but don't forget that it will get easier, alright? You can get through this.
