What do I do? What's wrong with me?

I know this will sound crazy and illogical, but here it goes. I had a childhood friend that I have not seen or heard from for over ten years. I looked through the albums I had at home and I found pictures of that friend. I also still have a few memories of this friend, but they are a bit unclear. I do remember liking this friend in the past though. I also noticed that when looking through the album, I saw his name on a name tag. Out of curiosity, one day, I decided to look him up on facebook and found him (or at least I think). He looked so much like the pictures in the album, and his name isn't very common. I really wanted to see if it was actually him and to get to know him. I had this crazy idea to friend him. Guess what? I did. I friended him before I realized that I could have messaged him. So I also sent him a message, but every time I tried, there was an error. So here I was friending a guy I wasn't 100% sure was my childhood friend. I can't even explain why I wanted to in the first place. Days, weeks, months, and I think about a year or so went by and I heard nothing from him, so I finally gave up. Recently, he suddenly accepted my friend request. Not only that, I noticed that he actually visited the city I am living in, but I had no idea, I am thinking that it's just coincidence. After he visited the city I am living in, he suddenly accepts. I feel that he is just accepting because he has nothing better to do. Now I am thinking that I should message him, but I am really scared. I know that it is better to get over your fears but can anyone tell me if I am just insane for doing something like this? Are old memories messing up my emotions and actions?

You are overreacting!!! Just ask him few questions if it match what you remember! Couple of my childhood friends found me on Facebook! Took me while to jog my memories and it was worth it!

Just message him!! Trust me, I did the very same thing, forgot about it for a while, and we ended up talking for quite some time (:
