Then he went to Florida for about a year and recently just came back he got a hold of me and we started talking again,and i started really liking him again.We've been spending a lot of time together lately and we're dating but I've been noticing he's been acting really strange lately. i know hes messed up,he'll go away for about 15 Min's at the time and come back speech slurred,he'll sit down and start nodding and falling asleep.
