From one boy to the next, it’s all a mindless tangle of interlocking and overlapping hurts.

Is it me, or is it them?

It’s because he worded his promises in such beautiful words.

“I love you.”

“Forever.”

I wish I could believe. It’s so much easier to believe and be led on, to be in love and optimistic.

But I rarely keep my promises. So why should he?

Still I mouth the same promises in the same beautiful words.

“I love you.”

No forever, though. That’s just too dramatic. I can’t love anyone that long, and I probably never will.

Dear boy, I will exchange these empty words with you for as long as it takes, if only to find out how long you can keep lying to me. Or how long I can lie to myself.

Just. Please. Let my promises stay false.

I wish all phones are drunk-proof.

Have the guts to wait for me.

I’ve waited for you since FOREVER. I don’t have time to wait much longer.

Aha! :)))

DQ! ^.^

Dairy Queen workers build the world’s largest ice cream cake in Toronto on May 10, 2011.

Hundreds of people turned out today in Toronto to witness the construction of the world’s largest ice cream cake.

Guinness World Records was on hand at Dundas Square as the 10,130.35-kilogram cake was created.

A forklift brought pallets of vanilla ice cream into the square as 22 workers from Dairy Queen built and iced the cake.

The cake was solid ice cream in the centre, with 90 kilograms of sponge cake on the outside and 136 kilograms of icing and crushed Oreos on top.

If I were a boy.

Indeed.

Eeep. >.<
