• Feelings & Expiration Dates

  

  Some people say that not all things have an expiration date.

  Well, what about feelings? 

  Say you liked someone, and they liked you back, but there was a condition where both parties first confessed their feelings. There's to be no proposal of a date or a hang-out alone until after 500 days of waiting. Why? Well, let's say it's between an older girl and a younger boy and her parents don't approve of a relationship until the boy turns 18. Both parties agreed with a promise.

  Over time, the boy started losing his patience and egged the girl to persuade her parents to have them try something out. She refused because she was determined not to let her family down and keep her promise. The boy got mad and they lost touch the following months.

  It's been 304 days down since I last had a proper talk with him and sometimes I wonder if our actual friendship ended the day we made that promise to wait. I'm not expecting anything special to happen when this is all over...afterall, people also say that even the strongest feelings fade over time, right? 

  There's one thing holding me back though. 

  I made a promise and I would hate to break it. This is a 2-way street, and I doubt I'll get any real closure until the deadline arrives. 

  Sure, the wait will have expired in 195 days, but what if the feelings expire before it?
