Expectations

by atoosa-kourosh

Even before our first date You make sure we have The Conversation   Heaven forbid I should mistake you for a man of honor That I should have any expectation.... That you know how to treat me As a friend .....or a lover As a woman of substance A lady not a tramp Your immaturity doesn’t surprise me But until that moment that you showed your hand I was willing to suspend my disbelief To give you the benefit of the doubt To let you set the bar higher But you succeeded in lowering my expectations Even further

Notes

Seeking a REAL MAN. Open heart, available future, ready for something true and awesome. Players and half-hearted daters need not apply. Bring the fire or go elsewhere looking for your fun cuddle bunny.....not to sound jaded. I'm not bitter. I'm just NOT wasting my time on manboys because I believe REAL MEN are out there and I want to find mine.
