chi non muore...


Explanation:
It's pretty common to use "chi non muore..." (from: chi non muore si rivede) with a friend, if you haven't seen him/her for ages.
It's ironic, though. If you use it you're probably thinking "where the hell were you? Why didn't you call me?"
It's just another idea.
ciao
