dear jiyun,

my mother used to tell me
when I was young

that people promise

and commit,

give their words
looking the other person
in the eye

and disinfect their sayings
dipping them
into honesty and
candour,

when they acknowledge
how important
this certain action is

how necessary,
to be straight forward is

cause the need for
building up
trust
&
plead
for the other
one not to worry

is present
and very much sensible.

people makes promises
all the time

and without hesitation
assure each other
that they
won't take it back

willing to keep them
or not

as if it does not matter

and it bugs me how
easily slamming
meaningless words
in the air,

on your face,

has ended up being.

you know,
when you go to bed
peaceful,

keeping in the back of
your head that there's
nothing
to have you over think

‘he promised’

the girl thinks

and lets her eyelids fall heavy
placidly,
quiescent as she is,
