Matt IM'd me on Monday, right before I came home from work, and said that he didn't want a boyfriend, explained about his busy schedule, and apologized if he had hurt me.

I knew about his schedule, I had explained that I didn't want to be an extra burden on his already busy life. He had told me that I wouldn't be, that it'd be good for us to hang out. I also knew that he wasn't looking for a boyfriend, or to get back together with me.

Though I've wanted him back for some time, I assumed that there could be something in between dating and not speaking at all. Aparently not. I guess I just don't get why he decided to speak to me at all. Fences have been mended, I suppose, but I'm still left with a feeling that is more empty than before. So, we haven't spoken since Monday, and I doubt at this point that I'll hear from him anytime soon.
