promises

i was listening to ashlee simpson's song 'love makes the world go round' and one line on the lyrics really hit me hard in my conscious... "i guess promises are better left unsaid"

is this true? ...promises are better left unsaid.... promises are better left unsaid...

if you think about it, when someone made a promise to you, i bet that you'd expected to the utmost that that person will fulfill that promise... but when that person broke that promise, doesn't matter what that promise is, that person broke your heart as well...well, maybe broke here can mean very disappointed or just "oh well, what can you do?!"

it is funny how when someone broke his promise to me, i always think of how i always keep my promises to him... but what someone said to me really changed my mind. i promised him something, which at that moment, i knew that i can keep it. but that person just said 'don't make promises.' ... of course that, i said. "but i will keep it. at least, i will try my best to keep it!" but this person just stare at me and repeat the same thing "dont make promises"

i just sat there silently... thinking..."how else can i convince you if you dont let me promise you something? give you a 'guarantee' that i will change?" ... but, my head yelled at my heart "he's right, you know. dont make promises eventhough you know that you can keep them. just shut up. and do it." ---->> this kind of heart-being-yelled-at-by-head thing is gonna happen pretty often from this point on cause that is the current issue i'm dealing with right now... *lol*

back to the topic, ashlee then went on about 'a girl's promise is better left unsaid' ... as a girl, i totally get what she's saying. it's not that she's afraid to break the guy's heart, no way... girls are too selfish to feel that *lol* but, i guess, ashlee was just trying to say that when a girl made a promise, she made it with her heart...and if the other person (read: the guy) does not comply (or broke that promise for her), her heart's gonna get bruised... because her lips are merely just a device of expressing what her heart feels... her heart is gonna be the one suffering...

i'm not saying that guys dont think when they made promises, of course they do... but, as widely known and i think most of you will agree, guys dont think with their heart, girls do... and once the heart is bruised, she cant think anymore...she cant feel no longer...

*sigh* here i am again, rambling about the randomness in life in a blog on a Tuesday afternoon in the uni library cause i'm sick of filling up buletin boards... *big sigh*
