Is a year too long to respond to someone if they texted you?

I may be a bad texter (horrifically bad texter) and I just remembered that someone texted me, so I went to their messages and found out they texted me last AUGUST and I just now remembered. I have another one from Feb 2023 but I think that’s too far gone. Idek if I should respond anymore, I like these people but idk if they like me after (unintentionally) ghosting them lmao. help
