A promise requires some form of responsibility,
and an invitation needs some kind of response, right?
By right yes, but by left, its just an act, just going through motion.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Saddening. So this is truth. The outcome was known, long long ago. I lived in self-denial, wading in self-pity. Stop it chaoching, there's no indication as to where it'll end, and it simply has no meaning. So its time to cheat. Pull the plug. Damnit.
