I Expected...

I expected you to change, but you didn’t.
I expected you to let me in, but you wouldn’t.
I expected you would be what I needed, but you weren’t.
I expected,
I expected,
I expected…

That was where we fell apart.
Instead of seeing you,
and appreciating you,
I saw someone who would save me.

In all my expecting,
I missed out on what you really were.
I missed your hesitation.
I missed your gentleness.

And now,
Because I expected,
I miss what we had.
