"Promises are meant to be broken."Alot of us had used this phrase at least once before to get out of trouble. What is considered as promise? When you wanted someone to say something and he said it, after tons of emotional blackmails and stuffs, would you still consider it as a promise? When you had promised someone under her emotional blackmail and stuffs, would you still consider it as a promise?
Someone once promised me forever, I used to give him the same promise too...but it was tested and proven that nothing is forever, except changes. I had long realised this and come to term with this undeniable fact. Someone broke mi a promise today. Someone made mi a promise today. This promise made to mi, made mi realise that the sweetest promise in the world is something that is uncertain, yet realistic.
He did not promise mi forever, even if he had, I will just let it pass as a casual remark. I had tasted "forever" before. He promised mi something so true that I know he can keep. Suddenly, I realised that I am no longer blinded by my own illusions anymore. I used to think that a sense of security is given through a tight hug and lots of sweet nothings. I was naive.
Now I realise, a sense of security cannot be given. It can only be cultivated and accumulated, through consistency, through actions. I can finally feel the sense of security he had all along provided, after I stopped being naive.
Dear, you had opened my eyes to a lot of wonderful things that I had not experienced before. Thanks for tolerating mi and my temper. Thanks for telling mi how much I mean to you through your actions. I know you cannot express it through language, cos of your ego. But I just wanna tell you that, I know.
