Homeboy barrels back into my life with such intense gusto and silvertongued flattery that I ask for AND AM GRANTED a hall pass... and completely backs off and stops communicating as soon as I put in the effort to make something happen. Really hurtful coming from someone I've knows a dozen years, and I'm so embarrassed that it's affecting me like this. I was really feeling myself for a few days there. Now I just feel like shit.
