A random one-shot to start a new semester in school . . .

Inspired by my latest break-up. Haha.

She felt like her heart was being throttled -

but that was nothing compared to the solitude and turmoil she was suffocating in.

Is it the right thing to do?

Am I even doing the right thing?

What is the right thing to do?

They were endless, these afflicting thoughts that led her astray from her sanity - or so she thought.

Am I going insane?

What is insanity?

Am I exaggerating?

They were haunting, these raging emotions that seemed to have countless questions with no answers to them - or was she indefinite?

"Why? I thought you loved me. I thought you would stay - you promised!"

"Don't make promises you don't intend to keep."

"I'm a person, so sorry if my flaws don't reach your expectations."

They were blemishes, these constant reminders of her eradicated, incomplete promises - yet ironically, she promised herself that promises were to be kept.

"But I'll wait for you."

"You're the person I want to be with."

"You're the only girl I will be in love with. There is no other girl."

They were alluring, these oaths that seemed so full of love and adoration - but in the end, they were emptied and eventually drowned in his lies.

"So that's it?"

"Anything to keep you happy."

"I guess we're strangers now."

They were excruciating, these farewells that she did not want, no ask for - yet in the end this was all that remained from their love that appeared so strong and beautiful.

"Hey . . . it's been a while."

"How are you?"

"Yeah, my life is going great!"

They were loathsome, these catching-up affairs that she wanted to believe were pretentious and deceitful - but the look in his eyes spoke otherwise.

For it is in love we are stripped naked and bare - vulnerable to the talons of the world.

For it is in love we are bewitched - believing that if it is 'us against the world', the world cannot disarm our love.

For it is in love we make promises when we are happy - yet we are unable to allow sadness reign the empty promises that could have been fulfilled.

A/N: Haha, well this sums up my break-up :] if it's too difficult to interpret because of my stupidity in my choice of words, I shall sum it up for you:

1. Girl is confused if breaking up was the right decision.

2. Boy refused to let go of Girl because she was "the one" for him. Bleugh. Oh and Girl promised to love Boy 'forever'. Stupid, right?

3. Boy says he will wait for Girl because he loves her oh-so much.

4. Girl does not want to lead Boy on any longer and tells him to give up, although she wishes he could resist her wishes.

5. Boy communicates with Girl after a few weeks - or maybe even months - to catch up. Unfortunately, he has found another "the one".

6. Girl learns from tragic mistake yet does not regret.

Hope you enjoyed reading! And the characters are up to you.

NxM, or MxR, or HxR, or MxT, up to you honestly! Drop by a review to tell me what you think ;)! Thanks for reading anyway!

The title of this one-shot means that the two people in this fic are pretty much the same - they create promises or say words that have no meaning or show no fulfillment in them.
