i hung up the phone with a sigh, again there are those tears that i cry. I have heard it all before. Hear the promises ring as you walked out the door. You promise me many things, like happiness and flights on butterfly wings. Somewhere those promises died. Again i am left with tears to cry. Broken promises and broken dreams, That's the way it always is, it seems. How can i hold on to the magic happiness, and the memories of your touch???

The memory of past love is enough to pain my heart, much like the hurt of broken promises. Lovers come and go, but true love has only on name. Not one of lies, cheats, or endless games. Desiring the familiar feel of a past love's skin, only to discover it was not your touch I desired, but I was only craving the touch of true love.

Sometimes when you find yourself breaking up with someone, or in divorce, etc. it can be hard, and there will be many times and things that will come up that will make you think of them, and miss them. But it is Best you learn to move on. Find things that you will enjoy, and new people and friends you can hang around and trust and know everything will be OK. Yes, it might be hard to do at first, but in the end you will end up a better person as well.

That's why I never really believe in promises. I am a bit cynical about love, my apology. Its just so hard to trust someone who'll never break your heart. I've read this quotation once and it really made sense, just wanna share it with you "When you love someone you are positioning yourself in a place where heartache, tears and suffering all resides".

promises meant to forever and forever doesn't exist at all. promises are meant to be broken and promises are just there to stay as words and nothing at all. promises makes you expect and your expectations will just became disappointments.

promises is always broken, that's why we don't need to have an assurance to the person that make promises to us. what we need is the real person that have a principles in life. the person that have fear in God. pain can be relieve when we realize that that person we love is a mistake

You're in a dream where nothing is for real. Wake up and smell the roses! A promise, any promise, all promises, are not worth the paper they are printed on! Because Nothing in this dimension, Nothing on this Earth is Constant. (let me repeat that) Nothing on this Earth stays the same,ever. (With one exception,) And that Exception is Change. Change is the Only Constant on this Earth. Everything else on Earth, even stones, oceans, and deserts. All Earthly things are in a constant state of flux. This is the reason a promise is an impossibility. If Everything, every Circumstance, every particle of dust, is constantly changing how can anything stay the same? A promise,to have and to hold, so help me God is ludicrous. Its entirely laughable, and is proven by the fact that over 50% of all marriages break up. Give up your dreams, and come back to reality. Everything, even You, is constantly changing, and Nothing anyone can do will ever stop it!

Yeah ,there must be some disappointment when some disappointing news comes to you,especially when you hold some hopes.When I was a child at about 8,my elder brother promised me to take me to the city ,where I had not gone before.But later he forgot it .However ,in my tiny heart ,I care about it .It mad me very disappointed.

It is very sad that some people don't care for the promises they made.A promise must be kept at any cost.To those who forget their promise and take you for granted,show them your back,when they approach you again.Close your doors on their face,if it is not the first time and they have any valid reasons.Because there are chances where some environmental factors go against our will.Hope always for the best.Grow up like not to ask for promises and take life as it comes.It is good for your heart and health as well.Cheers!
