I can't believe it. After all these months (almost 4) he got in touch. I turned on my old phone to use as a speaker, and there were 3 messages from him asking me to call him as soon as I got the texts. They'd been there 3 days.
I text him back and asked what was wrong (thinking maybe something had happened to his Mum, who I was fond of) and he replied a day later saying "nothing, i just wanted to see how you are"
I responded with "we haven't got anything to say to each other"
And then a day later he called my landline. I answered because I have no caller ID, and I really couldn't hang up when i realised who it was. It was like some kind of weird thing in his voice made me want to listen.
He asked questions about me first- to which I gave hardly any reply to, but enough to let him know I'm getting on with life. Then he told me all about whatever he's getting up to, most of which I didn't listen to, aside from him telling me he's finished a song he wrote for me years ago - and then he said something which made me feel weak all over again. "I just wanted to make sure you know I don't hate you - and that I'm here for you because I'm the only person who really knows you better than you know yourself and I'm the only one who you can talk to when things go wrong"
It made me feel angry and vulnerable at the same time.
I finished the conversation non-confrontationally and then text him a day after letting him know I never want to hear from him again. Ever. That he represents a very bad part of my life that I want to forget, but as I can't forget I don't want him to be part of my present.
I hope now he leaves me alone.
Ever since, and this was a week asgo - he's been creeping into my thoughts again, and the self doubts have all come back.
