Expectations

Expectations

 
But what did I expect?
When I tell a friend the truth
When I once and for all
Set a boundary
Did I expect a hug
Did I expect thank you
Did I expect respect.
 
But what did I expect?
When I have had enough pretense
When I get up and stand up
To even the playing field
Did I expect encouragement
Did I expect a pat on my back
Did I expect my friend to be there
 
But what did I expect?
When I smile
Forgive
Love
Give
Ask nothing in return
But what did I expect?
