Forever.

Something a lot of people appear to have forgotten is the weight of words.  As is apparent, the one I'm picking on today is "forever".  No one seems to realise that forever means for always.  Beyond this life and beyond any others which may or may not be.  Thus, the phrase "I will love you forever" can hardly be one which is promised to anyone.  I strongly believe that promises should be kept, otherwise the meaning of the word "promise" is also largely demeaned.  A promise means that you will or will not do something, so get it straight.  If you promise to keep a secret, then don't tell anyone.  It's easy.

I have never said I will love someone forever.  It's a stupid thing to say.

If I had then I'd be screwed; especially if I'd promised it to Oli.  I'd have to make myself.
That'd be difficult, because at the moment I am quite at a loss as to why Oli and I lasted for so long.  I'd been out of love with him for ages and the relationship had almost always been one way; so that I arranged seeing each other and I always went to his.  Actually that's not true, some Tuesdays he went to mine because it made it easier for me.
Believe me, we did have good times... I just can't remember them at the moment.
