old flames

so last night...actually early this morning at 3:00 a.m....i get a phone call from one of my ex-boyfriends. we became close friends after we broke up a year ago...things just didn't seem to be working out romantically but friendshipwise things were o.k. So anyway, he calls me at 3 in the morning and he is drunk out of his mind. i could barely understand what he was saying because he was slurring his words. He tells me "i'm calling to let you know that i still love you and want you to know why"...hmm? o.k. go on... was what i was thinking. as sleepy as i was, i was also intrigued by this phone call because he had NEVER EVER done this before. so he continues by saying "i love you because you are a very intelligent woman and i love the conversations that you and i have, i love you because of the nice, warm and caring person you are and i also love you because you are a very passionate woman, i admire that about you" I'm thinking well this is nice to listen to at 3 o'clock in the morning. AND then he finishes off by telling me "and those are the same reasons why i also hate you!!!" and hangs ups!! HA?! WHAT?! QUE?! COMO?! what was that about? why do people do that when they get drunk? i couldn't go back to sleep after that so i'm as sleepy as hell!! yeah i don't know but next time my phone rings at 3 0'clock in the morning i'm just going to let it ring!!
