I never expected it to be hard, but I didn’t expect it to be
easy.
I never expected that it would take so long, but come so
quickly.
I never expected all the fear, but also the security.
I just never expected.
The truth is that it’s never this or that, its somewhere in
between.
The fairy tale life you’ve dream about will never have its
sheen.
Normal is the ups and downs, the fights and cuddles, the
uninterested and keen.
None of it expected.
What I wanted was only the part that was good and true.
I wanted something that was forever, undying, and without
limit too.
They said it would be consume; it would burn inside – like a
fire of blue.
It was what I expected.
With the good and true came the bad and the lies
That sometimes felt like forever, decaying - beyond my
limits of compromise.
I was consumed, but by thoughts of doubt and feelings in
disguise.
Too much expected.
But like a seed that’s planted takes time to root, and
sprout, and grow –
A life with another takes time to study, and learn, and know.
Patience, understanding, willingness, consideration, a bit
of quid pro quo;
Can be expected.
Expect the hard and easy, the long and quick, fear and
security.
Expect the fairy tale, the horror story, and even some
drama and comedy.
Expect all that’s good and bad, the truth and lies, and time
for maturity.
Just don’t expect it to be what you expected.
