Just a Simple Promise.

 

A promise means so much to people that we never know. So many people live their lives with the sound of their footsteps all day. Any interaction in their lives creates thousands of butterfly's fly out of their mind.

We don't see the butterflies; we just see them happy and a concerned face that we might not ever hold up our end of the bargain. Just as they predicted, we didn't. But they wanted it to be real, and they wanted our noise in their lives.

But we never showed up or knocked on their door. They waited a long time, hoping you might show up at any second. It is absurd how people can spend their time looking at the clock just to see someone...badly.

Suddenly, a mundane wall becomes as fascinating as staring at priceless art. Their mind takes all the color out of any wall, they don't want that to happen, but you are not there for them to stop it from happening.

They can feel the pain growing every time the clock ticks. Every second, their body and soul become numb to the feeling of being left out. They don't want the truth to be real; how can they? You are the only way for them to get out.

You didn't show up, and they didn't give up. The endless cycle bought nothing but misery to their lives while you were out.
