Three Little Words

No...not those three words.

I’m talking about another set of three words that most people don’t understand the power they hold. Or maybe they do but don't care if they misuse it.

”I’ll call back!”

Three simple words that have the power to immobilize someone until they receive that call back. It’s a promise of good (or maybe not so good) things to come. A small promise (maybe not so small to some). But a promise after all.

I cherish every call. Every text. Every form of contact we have. Whether we are doing good or bad or trying to figure it out. I look forward to hearing from You ALWAYS! So, when You tell me You will call me back...know that you stop me in my tracks (mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically) until I hear from You again. My brain stops functioning the way it should because it gets consumed with the thought (the small promise) of You calling me back. I lose my breath. My heart beats too fast from panic. My anxiety goes out of control.

But...well...the thing is...

I’m still waiting for that small promise...those three words you spoke to me last week. Then you text me, “Tomorrow for sure”. That was two days ago. I’m still waiting for “tomorrow”. Is tomorrow ever going to come? Or will You continue to keep me in the dark and only feed me “small talk” texts here and there? I love You! I miss You! I miss Your voice! I NEED to hear You!!

Honesty always, right? Always the truth, right? Say what you mean and mean what you say, right? Then why do I find myself waiting for days for You to call me back??

So...I say to all of you out there...

If ever you tell anyone you will call them back...keep your promise. Because you never know how exciting it is for the person on the other side. You never know how much that call back means to them. But if you know you’re not going to call back...then I beg you all not to say those three words. Broken promises are damaging to the person that holds you dear to them.

Thank you to those who took the time to read my words. I hope you all have a wonderful evening or morning or afternoon.

XOXO,

Missub

Sybil - That is one of my biggest pet peeve.... whether in general or relationship you want to see me caught I major upset!!! Tell me you are calling me back and don’t 😡😡😡 like you said it’s a broken promise and in my book I am one who believes don’t make promises you can’t keep 😡

Missub(sub female) - I agree with you 100%.

djinni(dom female){smplylaura} - I cannot deal with that! I’ve always believed that this means they have no respect for your time (and feelings if in a relationship). I manage people and if I tell an employee or potential employee to call me at a certain time and they do not... I am livid and for the potential they won’t have a job.

Missub(sub female) - I used to set up interviews for the sales manager and if they were late she wouldn’t even interview them.

CrimsonPaw - I'm guilty of this. I guess I never realized the hurt it can cause. Thank you for sharing the other side of the coin. I'm a work in progress.

Missub(sub female) - I’m glad I was able to help you see. A work in progress is great! 🤗

TreasureMe(sub female){Consumed} - Thank you for this post Miss!! Its open, raw and totally and completely accurate!! Its about trust and that person being a person of their word. Without your word, you have nothing. No truer words were ever spoken about keeping promises, no matter how small. Love this! ❤

Missub(sub female) - Thank you for your kind words, Treasure. I’m glad you enjoyed my post. I do always write from my heart. 💞💗
