For those who have yet to listen to the song What Are Words by Medina, by all means, you should. It's a beautiful song with a meaningful lesson of love behind it. For the ones who can't capture the meaning of this song, well.. this is a summary of it..

"A guy who proposed to his girlfriend of __ years (8 I think) but one day his girlfriend met with an accident which caused her to suffer brain damage and severe injuries. Unlike any typical guys, he did NOT leave her. Instead, he hold on to his words of staying by her side through thick and thin."

It's a song of the real meaning of true love. Yes, like what the lyrics stated;

What are words

If you really don't mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they're only for good times

Then they don't

When it's love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we're gone

Mens and Womens should really think of what came out from their mouth. Promises, an oath, expressing feelings, is not merely something that can be treated as a joke. What are they if all the words are a facade? Do they still hold any meaning if it was just an empty words?

Truth to be told, we have eyes to see our surroundings. Divorce, break ups, fights and such happened in this world because "words" are the most powerful invention of all kinds. To think logically, I believe that such situations could have been avoided if only people would mind what they say.

For the fact that we know what is our limits and how much we can do, we could have known better what we can give to the person. If we really can't sacrifice death for them, it's easy as A B C to admit that we can't. But humans are humans. We gave empty promises, facade words to the people we love just because at that very moment we shared special bonding and were to afraid to lose it. We said it merely to please them, to convince them for something unknown. Would it have been love?

Like any other humans, perhaps I too, have did the same mistake. I would have simply promised my mum I would clean the house but I end doing nothing. I could have promised myself to study harder each time a new semester starts but I see myself still slacking. But for all I know, i've never taken my love for granted on my family, friends or anyone special. When I promised something big, especially when it comes to love, I very well hold on to it. That's me. How about you guys? (:
