i take words seriously. if you promise you'll do something, i'll remember, even if you forget. i hold on to what you say because your words mean something to me. so when you don't keep your word, it hurts. and every broken promise slowly breaks that trust, making it harder for me to believe you next time. i don't expect perfection, but i do expect honesty. i want you to mean what you say and say what you mean. don't tell me things just to make me feel better for a while, because it hurts even more when they turn out to be empty. i'd rather hear the truth, even if it's not what i want to hear, than be comforted with words that have no meaning. because to me, words matter. and when you break them, you don't just lose a promise, you lose a part of my trust too.
