Has/had

Years after, today I spoke to someone who has/had always been special to me.

Which one should be used here 'has/had'? What is the difference?

How will we write if the person whom I am speaking about still continues to be special to me.

Thanks Mr. Khoff,

Years after what?

Am I missing some phrase over there??

Its like we had not been in contact for a while. So what would you suggest me to fill the gap?

Try something like this --

Years after last seeing him/her, today I spoke to someone who has always been special to me.

Today I spoke to someone who has always been special to me. We hadn't spoken/seen each other for years.
