Have you ever gone back to someone you ghosted?

Basically I got ghosted by a guy. We talked for like 4 months and then finally we met up. Then he ghosted. He came back a year later wanting a fresh start. I am willing to give it to him but he has a lot to prove.
What would make you return to someone? I’ve never had this happen. Usually a ghost stays a ghost.
