I really want to believe you. I want to believe in the fact that you are done exploiting me. I want us to not have an expiration date. And even though you comfort me like warm milk on a cold night, I think it will eventually spoil.
It’s hard not to feel used. Friends don’t treat friends like this. I can see why people think I’m being manipulated. I probably am being manipulated. But I’ll savor it until you decide you’ve had enough.
