Old Flame, Same Burn

As of yesterday I have recently started talking to an "old flame" of mine, a really old flame. And even though I must have traveled down this road a thousand times, I legitimately feel like it's different this time (but isn't it always "different"). This guy and I started talking freshman year of highschool, and up until junior year we've gone back and forth, but no sign of a real relationship in sight. But junior year i made the decision to end all ties to this person, like "I ain't talking poultry when I say this chicken's FRRIIIIEEEEEDDD." (a little Nicki Minaj for that ass!) So you can imagine my surprise when the red alert light on my blackberry lit up last night, and it was...
a Twitter notification, but then after that another light popped up and it was a text...from him (clearly). Today we've texted, and it feels like I'm talk I'm talking to a new person. Before i always felt as though I was arguing with a little boy, but today I was talking to a man that was on my level. I didn't have to force conversation, or pretend to be intrigued, it just flowed. And I haven't had a conversation with a guy that flowed in a long time. As some of you may know, I'm a FIRM believer in once a chapter is closed that should be it. But here I am on the edge of reopening that old book, which I closed years ago. In any event I don't want a relationship, but I don't want my time wasted either. I just want... *rolls eyes* idk. I find myself thinking about sappy song lyrics like this...*rolls eyes again*

They say if you love something youv'e got to let it go, but if it comes back then it means so much more.
