An Old Friend?

He isn't exactly the ideal person you'd want as a friend though... After 8th grade, when he left, I wasn't sure if I should be happy or disappointed. Ended up being happy that he did, with many reasons to back my feelings, and vowed to myself that I would pay him no attention in the future. But now he's back and I just can't ignore him. I'm not sure if I should try to keep away, or embrace him. And maybe this time, he won't let go...
