    Expectations


    How I dreamt of you wondering who is my Prince Charming ?

    Like any other person, wanted a caring and understanding partner!


    Why did I expect you to love me to the moon and back?


    Why did I expect you to handle my craziness?


    Why did I expect you to accept my flaws ?
    Afterall , I’m not perfect!

    Why did I expect us to enjoy those sweet little moments?

    Why did I expect you to respect all my choices and my decisions ?

    Why did I expect you to be so kind and affectionate ?

    Why did I expect you to give me some freedom ?

    Why did I expect you to remember all important events in our life?

    Why did I expect you to give me sweet surprises ?

    Why did I expect you to pamper me like a kid?

    Why did I expect you to feed me when I’m not well?

    Why did I expect you to be my partner in crime?

    Why did I expect you to be adventurous ?

    Why did I expect you to LOVE me always , no matter what ?

    Why did I expect you to console me when I’m low?

    Why did I expect you to handle my moodswings ?

    Why did I expect that I can share my view whether you like it or not ?

    Why did I choose YOU over others ?

    Why did I have all these expectations from you, when I already know that Expectations always hurt and I will be the person who will be hurt the most !

    Nice poem and a tough "to do" list for just one feller. ;)

    There is an old fashioned song.... sort of like "Expectations" from the other side:
    "I want a girl, just like that girl who married dear old dad":facepalm::facepalm: is the first line of the lyrics.
    You may find it performed on youtube.

    Also the subject that was talked about a lot in psychoanalyses.

    @shravs3 Nice poem.you have asked the question and found the answer too.If all our expectations are fulfilled we fly in the air singing like a humming bird.i think most of us are not blessed to have a life partner according to our wish.

    @shravs3,

    Just some random thoughts-

    So many 'Whys' that have no answers!
    If every 'Why' had a convincing answer, nobody would bother to ask, 'Why?'.
    wisdom impels us to reduce expectations but without expectations, what motivates us to live life with another human being and sacrifice our own present and future?
    Without expectations from our nearest, we would be better off in the wilderness of the great Himalayas. There at least we may be able to work on liberating our souls from this Moh and Maya!
