FORGOTTEN  PROMISES

Promises – forgotten -  are worse 

than a lost sock or glove or where 

did I leave my glasses or my wallet? 

I told you I’d be there by 4 PM and 

you’re waiting there in the mall for me 

and it’s 6 PM and I’m taking a nap. 

Not good …. And I don’t know that 

you made a decision around 5 PM 

to end this relationship and I’ll play 

the “But you promised” card for the 

next year – and I won’t know why 

you’re doing what you’re doing.
