Dear Alex
 

Why did we let you in so quickly?

Your talk of bugs dazzled us

Your enthusiasm caught us up

When drinking

 

Why did we give you our cell phone numbers?

And invite you to our parties?

How did you convince us your friendship application needed little scrutiny?

Once more we regret the decisions we made

When drinking

 

It wasn’t just the 17 texts asking all of us for directions across the road

It wasn’t just the drunken insistence on picking us all up in your arms at the bar

It wasn’t just the slipped jock comments regarding ugly versus fat

It was the whole needy, frenetic, overbearing, instant buddying, annoyingly closeness of your personality that led us to regret every going into the smoking room of the bar that one Friday night

When drinking
