love and promises

It's not the song that Wet Wet Wet bit me with.
The song has a history shared with Ella, the ex mistaken by everyone in the family to be the One. When we finally separated amicably, I learned that three cousins didn't favor her for one or more reason. But because they love me, they chose not to be vocal about their feelings. I'd remember Cagayan De Oro whenever I hear this and the time we were there for leisure. I purchased my first Wet album that included this song at Limketkai.
It's not only CDO but also the bus trip to the pineapple plantation in Butuan. Memories that hit you with the question, "So what went wrong?" That possibility didn't exist during the airplay of Goodnight Girl.
Late last April one of my cousins who works in the same corporate as Ella asked me if I knew any updates. I said no and then I kept quiet. I gave the impression that I wanted to be spared. It didn't work.
She went on to tell me stuff like Ella was in the hot seat because she was caught cheating with the business partner of her fiance. And that she's currently hooking up with a "childhood" flame.
I shook my head.
I hope my cousin will not be crazy enough to volunteer to my ex about me having a son with J when they bump into each other at work.
Now I'm thinking why I shook my head then. I realized that before we split up, she was so furious that she promised she'll make it to the top while I'll be looking up at her from hell down under.
Hell didn't find me. Or maybe didn't want me at all.
I shook my head because deep inside I was concerned. Pala. I want her to be finally happy.
Can't undo certain major parts.
4 years is a long story to make.
And one good one was captured in 4:10 minutes by Wet.

kids should know that...
Marti Pellow enjoyed success with Wet Wet Wet throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. However, in 1997 drummer Tommy Cunningham left the band and its success waned immediately. Pellow was by this time suffering from an addiction to heroin. On finally beating the drug, he stated: "It was textbook. I couldn't function without it. But there's no romantic side to heroin – it's no good." Pellow left Wet Wet Wet in May 1999, effectively disbanding the group. They reformed, however, in March 2004. (wikipedia)
